    <title>Description</title>

    <para><command>systemd-analyze</command> may be used 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
    took to initialize. Note that these measurements simply measure
    the time passed up to the point where all system services have
    been spawned, but not necessarily until they fully finished
    initialization or the disk is idle.</para>

    <para><command>systemd-analyze blame</command> prints a list of
    all running units, ordered by the time they took to initialize.
    This information may be used to optimize boot-up times. Note that
    the output might be misleading as the initialization of one
    service might 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><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>

    <para><command>systemd-analyze set-log-level
    <replaceable>LEVEL</replaceable></command> changes the current log
    level of the <command>systemd</command> daemon to
    <replaceable>LEVEL</replaceable> (accepts 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>

    <para>If no command is passed, <command>systemd-analyze
    time</command> is implied.</para>

        <varname>After=</varname> or <varname>Before=</varname> are

        patterns as arguments, which are matched against left-hand and
        right-hand, respectively, nodes of a relationship. Each of
