Shell functions mystery
so i noticed that when a shell script has a function defined in it, running "sh -x" on that shell script from the command line doesnt show what the function is doing. i like this.
is there anyway for anyone to get around that? to be able to see exactly what a function or functions are doing?

Simple shell script :

test_fn()
{
echo "function within test shell script "
}
on the shell prompt I run
> . test
Then I invoke the function on the command line as below :
test_fn()
It echos the line
function within test shell script
and works as expected.

NAME
script - make record of a terminal session
SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
The script utility makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.
The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.
OPTIONS
The following option is supported:
-a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.
NOTES
script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.

privileged user, that is, root. Be sure that typescript is not a link before running script.
