The above command can be used with -v to get more debug information.
+
+After the system starts, use `delaytop` to get the system-wide delay information,
+which includes system-wide PSI information and Top-N high-latency tasks.
+Note: PSI support requires `CONFIG_PSI=y` and `psi=1` for full functionality.
+
+`delaytop` is an interactive tool for monitoring system pressure and task delays.
+It supports multiple sorting options, display modes, and real-time keyboard controls.
+
+Basic usage with default settings (sorts by CPU delay, shows top 20 tasks, refreshes every 2 seconds)::
+
+ bash# ./delaytop
