# os_trace_debug_enabled()

Returns whether debug level trace information is enabled.

## Declaration

```swift
func os_trace_debug_enabled() -> Bool
```

## Discussion

Discussion Generally, trace points should not involve expensive operations, however some circumstances warrant it.  Use this function to do expensive work only when debug level trace messages are enabled.
