+.SH SYNOPSIS

+\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.
