                 <title>Description</title>
 
                 <para><command>systemd-analyze</command> may be used
-                to determine system boot-up performance of the current
-                boot.</para>
+                to determine system boot-up performance statistics and
+                retrieve other state and tracing information from the
+                system and service manager.</para>
 
                 <para><command>systemd-analyze time</command>
                 prints the time spent in the kernel before
                 userspace has been reached, the time spent in the
                 initial RAM disk (initrd) before normal system
-                userspace has been reached and the time normal system
+                userspace has been reached, and the time normal system
                 userspace took to initialize. Note that these
                 measurements simply measure the time passed up to the
                 point where all system services have been spawned, but
                 be slow simply because it waits for the initialization
                 of another service to complete.</para>
 
+                <para><command>systemd-analyze critical-chain [<replaceable>UNIT...</replaceable>]</command>
+                prints a tree of the time-critical chain of units
+                (for each of the specified <replaceable>UNIT</replaceable>s
+                or for the default target otherwise).
+                The time after the unit is active or started is printed
+                after the "@" character. The time the unit takes to
+                start is printed after the "+" character.
+                Note that the output might be misleading as the
+                initialization of one service might depend on socket
+                activation and because of the parallel execution
+                of units.</para>
+
                 <para><command>systemd-analyze plot</command> prints
                 an SVG graphic detailing which system services have
                 been started at what time, highlighting the time they
                 spent on initialization.</para>
 
-                <para>If no command is passed <command>systemd-analyze
+                <para><command>systemd-analyze dot</command> generates
+                textual dependency graph description in dot format for
+                further processing with the GraphViz
+                <citerefentry><refentrytitle>dot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+                tool. Use a command line like <command>systemd-analyze
+                dot | dot -Tsvg > systemd.svg</command> to generate a
+                graphical dependency tree. Unless
+                <option>--order</option> or <option>--require</option>
+                is passed, the generated graph will show both ordering
+                and requirement dependencies. Optional pattern
+                globbing style specifications
+                (e.g. <filename>*.target</filename>) may be given at
+                the end. A unit dependency is included in the graph if
+                any of these patterns match either the origin or
+                destination node.</para>
+
+                <para><command>systemd-analyze dump</command> outputs
+                a (usually very long) human-readable serialization of
+                the complete server state. Its format is subject to
+                change without notice and should not be parsed by
+                applications.</para>
