Loops: The for Statement (Quigley pages 903 – 907)

The do-done block is executed once for each word in the wordlist, assigning each word in turn to the variable. If "in wordlist" is omitted, the positional parameters $@ from the caller starting at $1 are used in its place.

for variable in wordlist; do

statements

done

As stated above, the PDL will look like this:

FOR description of wordlist

statements
