NAME

       podman-container-diff - Inspect changes on a container's filesystem

SYNOPSIS

       podman container diff [options] container [container]

DESCRIPTION

       Displays  changes  on a container's filesystem. The container will be compared to its parent layer or the
       second argument when given.

       The output is prefixed with the following symbols:

       ┌────────┬──────────────────────────────────┐
       │ Symbol │ Description                      │
       ├────────┼──────────────────────────────────┤
       │ A      │ A file or directory was added.   │
       ├────────┼──────────────────────────────────┤
       │ D      │ A file or directory was deleted. │
       ├────────┼──────────────────────────────────┤
       │ C      │ A file or directory was changed. │
       └────────┴──────────────────────────────────┘

OPTIONS

   --format
       Alter the output into a different format. The only valid format for podman container diff is json.

   --latest, -l
       Instead of providing the container name or ID, use the last created container. If you use  methods  other
       than  Podman  to  run  containers such as CRI-O, the last started container could be from either of those
       methods. (This option is not available with the remote Podman client)

EXAMPLE

              # podman container diff container1
              C /usr
              C /usr/local
              C /usr/local/bin
              A /usr/local/bin/docker-entrypoint.sh

              $ podman container diff --format json container1 container2
              {
                   "added": [
                        "/test"
                   ]
              }
