Description:   Causes the current script to be aborted out to the innermost containing loop command, which then aborts its execution and returns normally.

Syntax:         break

Argument:       

Returns:        3 = TCL_BREAK code

See Also:       break, continue, and loop

 

Examples:     

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. 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 and the outermost scripts of procedure bodies.
