Hello, I would like to activate the same behaviour of functions -T function_name, but for the current scope, ie the function already been called. something like: function_name (){ functions -T $0 ... } fname this doesn't work, I think because the tracing starts when the function is called. I know I can do setopt xtrace, but this debugs also the functions called from now on, functions -T does not. Is there a way to activate debug for the current scope only? thanks Pier Paolo Grassi
