NAME

       containers-storage diff - Generate a layer diff

SYNOPSIS

       containers-storage diff [options [...]] layerNameOrID

DESCRIPTION

       Generates a layer diff representing the changes made in the specified layer.  If the layer
       was populated using a layer diff, the result aims to be bit-for-bit identical with the one
       that was applied, including the type of compression which was applied.

OPTIONS

       -f | --file file

       Write the diff to the specified file instead of stdout.

       -c | --gzip

       Force  the  diff to be compressed using gzip compression.  If the layer was populated by a
       layer diff, and that layer diff was compressed, this will be done automatically.

       -u | --uncompressed

       Force the diff to be uncompressed.  If the layer was populated by a layer diff,  and  that
       layer diff was compressed, it will be decompressed for output.

EXAMPLE

       containers-storage diff my-base-layer
