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 3 (TCL_BREAK) result 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.

EXAMPLE

       Print a line for each of the integers from 0 to 5:

              for {set x 0} {$x<10} {incr x} {
                  if {$x > 5} {
                      break
                  }
                  puts "x is $x"
              }
