break - stop the current inner loop
===================================
Synopsis
--------
LOOP_CONSTRUCT; [COMMANDS...] break; [COMMANDS...] end
Description
-----------
``break`` halts a currently running loop, such as a <a href="#for">for</a> loop or a <a href="#while">while</a> loop. It is usually added inside of a conditional block such as an <a href="#if">if</a> statement or a <a href="#switch">switch</a> statement.
There are no parameters for ``break``.
Example
-------
The following code searches all .c files for "smurf", and halts at the first occurrence.
::
for i in *.c
if grep smurf $i
echo Smurfs are present in $i
break
end
end
