Option 'V' --> Verbose Count of Matches Only.  By default QTGrep outputs all records matching the search patterns.  If it is desired to know only the number of records containing matches to the search patterns, then this option forces QTGrep not to output the records containing matches, but only the count.  The format of the output at the end of each file is:
Filename

  Match           Count: mmmmmm
    Pattern     1 Count: ccccc1 - User Specified Comment for Pattern 1
    Pattern     2 Count: ccccc2 - User Specified Comment for Pattern 2
    Pattern     3 Count: ccccc3 - User Specified Comment for Pattern 3
    Pattern     4 Count: ccccc4 - User Specified Comment for Pattern 4
    Pattern     5 Count: ccccc5 - User Specified Comment for Pattern 5
  Matching Record Count: llllll
  Records       Scanned: ssssss
  where: mmmmmm == Number of Matches in File
         cccccx == Number of Matches for Pattern Number x
         llllll == Number of Records Containing Matches in File
         ssssss == Number of Records in File
                                                 ]
Note:  mmmmmm and llllll may not be equal if the 'w' option is active and/or if any matches spann multiple records

Note: mmmmmm will equal the summ of all pattern counts, cccccx.
         mmmmmm == ccccc1 + ccccc2 + ccccc3 + ...

Note:  The individual Pattern counts are output only if more than one pattern has been specified for searching.  The user comment appended to the end of each pattern count is specified in pattern files using the 'm' command.

The filename is output only if more than one file is scanned for matches or the 'h' option is not invoked.

Note: Refer to the 'c' option for a non-verbose count only output.

Note :  If both the matching records and the match count are desired then the 'k' option should be used.
