trap with no break or continue

What does trap without break or continue do?

Help about_trap:

If you include a Continue statement in a Trap statement, Windows PowerShell resumes after the statement that caused the error, just as it would without Break or Continue. With the Continue keyword, however, Windows PowerShell does not write an error to the error stream.

This is correct but may sound misleading, as if trap without break or continue resumes, just as it would with continue. It resumes as with continue and it also writes a terminating error as non-terminating. The result depends on the current error action preference.

Scripts

• error.action.continue.ps1 - bare trap resumes on error action Continue.
• error.action.stop.ps1 - bare trap stops on error action Stop.
