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
  % set l [list A B C D E F]
  A B C D E F
  
  % foreach el $l {
      if {$el == "C"} break
      puts $el
    }
  A
  B
