NAME
     break - exit from a for or while loop (sh built-in)

SYNOPSIS
     break [ n ]

DESCRIPTION
     Break exits from the enclosing for or while loop.  If n is
     specified, break n levels.

EXAMPLES
     The following shell script reads lines from the standard
     input.  If the first word is "end", the rest of the line is
     printed and the shell script terminates. The loop is left by
     using break.

          #!/bin/sh
          while read f g
          do
               if test "$f" = "end"
               then
                    break
               fi
          done
          echo $g
