 - <dd><p>Set the <em>passcount</em> of a tracepoint.  The passcount is a way to
 - automatically stop a trace experiment.  If a tracepoint’s passcount is
 - <var>n</var>, then the trace experiment will be automatically stopped on
 - the <var>n</var>’th time that tracepoint is hit.  If the tracepoint number
 - <var>num</var> is not specified, the <code>passcount</code> command sets the
 - passcount of the most recently defined tracepoint.  If no passcount is
 - given, the trace experiment will run until stopped explicitly by the
 - user.
