title: Does Linux Bash have a do-while loop?
body: <p>After some search on the Internet, it appears that Bash doesn't have a <em>do-while</em> loop.</p>
  
  <p>Is this correct? Is there a reliable source to confirm this (the lack of evidence that there is a <em>do-while</em> loop is not an argument that there isn't one, perhaps a statement is only <em>unpopular</em>)?</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to define directives oneself and thus implement a <em>do-while</em> loop? There is an algorithmic way to transform a <em>do-while</em>-loop in a <em>while</em>-loop, but this is <strong>not</strong> the scope of this question.</p>
