<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, and to verify the
+ correctness of unit files.</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>

tool. Use a command line like <command>systemd-analyze

- a graphical dependency tree. Unless
+ 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.</para>

- relationship is printed if any of these matches either
- lefthand or righthand node.</para>
-
- <para>If no command is passed <command>systemd-analyze
+ 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>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-analyze set-log-level
+ <replaceable>LEVEL</replaceable></command> changes the

+ the same values as <option>--log-level=</option>
+ described in
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>).</para>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-analyze verify</command> will
+ load unit files and print warnings if any errors are
+ detected. Files specified on the command line will be
+ loaded, but also any other units referenced by
+ them. This command works by prepending the directories
+ for all command line arguments at the beginning of the
+ unit load path, which means that all units files found
+ in those directories will be used in preference to the
+ unit files found in the standard locations, even if
+ not listed explicitly.</para>
