.SH NAME
|
|
break \- Abort looping command
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
\fBbreak\fR
|
|
.BE
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
This command is typically invoked inside the body of a looping command
|
|
such as \fBfor\fR or \fBforeach\fR or \fBwhile\fR.
|
|
It returns a TCL_BREAK code, which causes a break exception
|
|
to occur.
|
|
The exception causes the current script to be aborted
|
|
out to the the innermost containing loop command, which then
|
|
aborts its execution and returns normally.
|
|
Break exceptions are also handled in a few other situations, such
|
|
as the \fBcatch\fR command, Tk event bindings, and the outermost
|
|
scripts of procedure bodies.
