+--max-count <num>::
+	Limit the amount of matches per file. When using the `-v` or
+	`--invert-match` option, the search stops after the specified
+	number of non-matches. A value of -1 will return unlimited
+	results (the default). A value of 0 will exit immediately with
+	a non-zero status.

 --threads <num>::
 	Number of grep worker threads to use.
 	See `grep.threads` in 'CONFIGURATION' for more information.
