Resume the next iteration of the enclosing for, while, until, or select loop.
Syntax
continue [n]
Key
-n Resume at the nth enclosing loop
n must be >= 1.
If n is greater than the number of
enclosing loops, the last enclosing loop (the 'top-level' loop) is resumed.
The return value is 0 unless the shell is not executing a loop when continue is executed.
This is a BASH shell builtin and a Zsh shell builtin.
