Print all commands in a bash function

I am trying to debug a bash function.

Is it possible to print all the commands executed by a bash function? I know that it is possible to print all the commands by a bash script by changing

#!/bin/bash

to

#!/bin/bash -x

How do I get the same effect for a bash function?

Thank you.

You need to edit the function to add and remove tracing, eg:-

FuncName()
{ set -x ;# Enable tracing on entry ... (function code) ... set +x ;# Disable tracing on exit
}
