.SH SYNOPSIS

|
.LP
|
|
\fBcontinue\fP \fB[\fP\fIn\fP\fB]\fP
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.LP
|
|
The \fIcontinue\fP utility shall return to the top of the smallest
|
|
enclosing \fBfor\fP, \fBwhile\fP, or \fBuntil\fP loop, or
|
|
to the top of the \fIn\fPth enclosing loop, if \fIn\fP is specified.
|
|
This involves repeating the condition list of a \fBwhile\fP
|
|
or \fBuntil\fP loop or performing the next assignment of a \fBfor\fP
|
|
loop, and re-executing the loop if appropriate.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The value of \fIn\fP is a decimal integer greater than or equal to
|
|
1. The default shall be equivalent to \fIn\fP=1. If
|
|
\fIn\fP is greater than the number of enclosing loops, the outermost
|
|
enclosing loop shall be used.
