break(3Tcl)

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 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.
