Quoting from 'man grep', in which I searched for "count":
-m NUM, --max-count=NUM
Stop reading a file after NUM matching lines. If the input is standard input from a regular file, and NUM
matching lines are output, grep ensures that the standard input is positioned to just after the last match‐
ing line before exiting, regardless of the presence of trailing context lines. This enables a calling pro‐
cess to resume a search. When grep stops after NUM matching lines, it outputs any trailing context lines.
When the -c or --count option is also used, grep does not output a count greater than NUM. When the -v or
--invert-match option is also used, grep stops after outputting NUM non-matching lines.
Hope that's what you were looking for!
