+.SH NAME
+break \- exit from for, while, or until loop
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+\fBbreak\fP \fB[\fP\fIn\fP\fB]\fP
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+The \fIbreak\fP utility shall exit from the smallest enclosing \fBfor\fP,
+\fBwhile\fP, or \fBuntil\fP loop, if any; or from
+the \fIn\fPth enclosing loop if \fIn\fP is specified. The value of
+\fIn\fP is an unsigned 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 exited. Execution shall continue with the
+command immediately following the loop.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.LP
+None.
+.SH OPERANDS

+.RE
+.SH RATIONALE
+.LP
+In early proposals, consideration was given to expanding the syntax
+of \fIbreak\fP and \fIcontinue\fP to refer to a label associated with
+the appropriate loop as a preferable
+alternative to the \fIn\fP 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:
+.sp
+.RS
+.nf
+
+\fBoutofloop: 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
+\fP
+.fi
+.RE
+.LP
+and that this might be standardized after implementation experience
+is achieved.
+.SH FUTURE DIRECTIONS
+.LP
+None.
