Used distribution

Ubuntu 16.10 dev

"systemd-analyze verify" does check any given unit files and unit files which are referenced by them. It is possible to just call "systemd-analyze verify" without any unit files being given but it seems nothing is then done. Maybe this case can be enhanced that then all unit files are being checked.

Research direction

Confirm the existing behavior, then define completion as checking all unit files when no files are supplied and verify the result with the project's relevant tests or command-line checks.
