If *count* is given, stepping occurs that many times before stopping. Otherwise *count* is one. *count* can be an arithmetic expression. Note that skipping doesn't change the value of \$?. This has consequences in some compound statements that test on \$?. For example in: if grep foo bar.txt ; then echo not skipped fi skipping the *if* statement will in effect skip running the *grep* command. Since the return code is 0 when skipped, the *if* body is entered. Similarly the same thing can happen in a *while* statement test.
