+# Debug {#sec-functions-library-debug}
+Collection of functions useful for debugging
+broken nix expressions.
+
+* `trace`-like functions take two values, print
+  the first to stderr and return the second.
+* `traceVal`-like functions take one argument
+  which both printed and returned.
+* `traceSeq`-like functions fully evaluate their
+  traced value before printing (not just to “weak
+  head normal form” like trace does by default).
+* Functions that end in `-Fn` take an additional
+  function as their first argument, which is applied
+  to the traced value before it is printed.
+
+## `lib.debug.traceIf` {#function-library-lib.debug.traceIf}
+
+**Type**: `traceIf :: bool -> string -> a -> a`
+
+Conditionally trace the supplied message, based on a predicate.

+

+:::
+
+## `lib.debug.traceValFn` {#function-library-lib.debug.traceValFn}
+
+**Type**: `traceValFn :: (a -> b) -> a -> a`
+
+Trace the supplied value after applying a function to it, and
+return the original value.

+
+Used for regression testing of the functions in lib; see
