PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon May 25 15:54:34 UTC 2026 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Machine Type: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
Bash Version: 5.3
Patch Level: 9
Release Status: release
Description:
The "break" and "continue" commands can be used within
a "for", "while, "until", or "select" loop. The "info"
documentation correction mentions this, but "help break"
"help continue" do not. The error message when "break"
or "continue" is invoked outside a loop also doesn't
mention "select".
Repeat-By:
"help break" # (doesn't mention "select")
"help continue" # (doesn't mention "select")
$ break
bash: break: only meaningful in a `for', `while', or `until' loop
$ continue
bash: continue: only meaningful in a `for', `while', or `until' loop
