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"
              }
