- break is a shell special built-in that exits the smallest enclosing for, select, while, or until loop, or
the n-th enclosing loop if n is specified. Execution continues at the command following the loop(s).
- If n is given, it must be a positive integer >= 1. If n is larger than the number of enclosing loops, the last enclosing loop
will be exited.
