.SH NAME

continue \- Skip to the next iteration of a loop

.SH SYNOPSIS

\fBcontinue\fR

.BE

.SH DESCRIPTION

.PP

This command is typically invoked inside the body of a looping command

such as \fBfor\fR or \fBforeach\fR or \fBwhile\fR.

It returns a TCL_CONTINUE code, which causes a continue exception

to occur.

The exception causes the current script to be aborted

out to the innermost containing loop command, which then

continues with the next iteration of the loop.

Catch exceptions are also handled in a few other situations, such

as the \fBcatch\fR command and the outermost scripts of procedure

bodies.

.SH KEYWORDS

continue, iteration, loop
