  16. continue \fB[\fIn\fB]\fR
  17. .fi
  18. .SH DESCRIPTION
  19. If
  20. .IR n
  21. is specified, the
  22. .IR continue
  23. utility shall return to the top of the
  24. .IR n th
  25. enclosing
  26. .BR for ,
  27. .BR while ,
  28. or
  29. .BR until
  30. loop. If
  31. .IR n
  32. is not specified,
  33. .IR continue
  34. shall behave as if
  35. .IR n
  36. was specified as 1. Returning to the top of the loop involves
  37. repeating the condition list of a
  38. .BR while
  39. or
  40. .BR until
  41. loop or performing the next assignment of a
  42. .BR for
  43. loop, and re-executing the loop if appropriate.
  44. .P
  45. The value of
  46. .IR n
  47. is a positive decimal integer. If
  48. .IR n
  49. is greater than the number of enclosing loops, the outermost enclosing loop
  50. shall be used. If there is no enclosing loop, the behavior is unspecified.
  51. .P
  52. The meaning of ``enclosing'' shall be as specified in the description of the
  53. .IR break
  54. utility.
