break − exit from for, while, or until loop
break [n]
The break utility shall exit from the smallest enclosing for, while, or until loop, if any; or from the nth enclosing loop if n is specified. The value of n is an unsigned decimal integer greater than or equal to 1. The default shall be equivalent to n=1. If n is greater than the number of enclosing loops, the outermost enclosing loop shall be exited. Execution shall continue with the command immediately following the loop.
None.

In early proposals, consideration was given to expanding the syntax of break and continue to refer to a label associated with the appropriate loop as a preferable alternative to the n method. However, this volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 does reserve the name space of command names ending with a colon. It is anticipated that a future implementation could take advantage of this and provide something like:
outofloop:
for i in a b c d e
do
for j in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
do
if test -r "${i}${j}"
then break outofloop
fi
done
done
and that this might be standardized after implementation experience is achieved.
None.
