<title>Debugging Nix Expressions</title>
<para>
Nix is a unityped, dynamic language, this means every value can potentially
appear anywhere. Since it is also non-strict, evaluation order and what
ultimately is evaluated might surprise you. Therefore it is important to be
able to debug nix expressions.

In the <literal>lib/debug.nix</literal> file you will find a number of
functions that help (pretty-)printing values while evaluation is runnnig. You
can even specify how deep these values should be printed recursively, and
transform them on the fly. Please consult the docstrings in
<literal>lib/debug.nix</literal> for usage information.
