2.3.2 Program-Controlled Line Tracing

You can also turn on and off line tracing. Here’s an example

  source path-to-program/bashdb-trace # modify location
   ...
  _Dbg_linetrace_on
  for i in `seq 10` ; do
     echo $i
  done
  _Dbg_linetrace_off
   _Dbg_QUIT_ON_QUIT=1

The _Dbg_QUIT_ON_QUIT variable make sure the program doesn’t stay inside the debugger after it quits. It can also be set earlier in the program.

Again <path-to-program> is whatever path needed to located <bashdb-trace>. For example it might be </usr/local/share> on some GNU/Linux installations.
