NAME
break - Abort looping command
SYNOPSIS
break
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
This command is typically invoked inside the body of a
looping command such as for or foreach or while. 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 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 catch
command, Tk event bindings, and the outermost scripts of
procedure bodies.
KEYWORDS
