for name [ in word ] ; do list ; done
The list of words following in is expanded, generating a list of
items. The variable name is set to each element of this list in
turn, and list is executed each time. If the in word is omit?
ted, the for command executes list once for each positional
parameter that is set (see PARAMETERS below). The return status
is the exit status of the last command that executes. If the
expansion of the items following in results in an empty list, no
commands are executed, and the return status is 0.
