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>
