  break

  NAME

    break - exit a loop

  SYNOPSIS

  C shell

    break

  Korn shell

    break [level]

  DESCRIPTION

    This command is a built-in command in the C shell and the Korn shell.

  C shell

    The break(1) command causes execution to resume after the end of the
    nearest enclosing foreach(1) or while(1) loop. The remaining commands on
    the current line are executed. Multilevel breaks are thus possible by
    writing them all on one line.

  Korn shell

    The break(1) command exits the innermost for(1), select(1), until(1), or
    while(1) loop specified by level. If level is not specified, the first
    (that is, the innermost) loop is the default.
