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.

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"
              }
