NAME
       containers-storage apply-diff - Apply a layer diff to a layer


SYNOPSIS
       containers-storage apply-diff [options [...]] layerNameOrID [referenceLayerNameOrID]


DESCRIPTION
       When a layer is first created, it contains no changes relative to its parent layer.  The layer can either
       be mounted read-write and its contents modified directly, or  contents  can  be  added  (or  removed)  by
       applying  a  layer  diff.   A  layer  diff  takes  the  form  of a (possibly compressed) tar archive with
       additional information present in its headers, and can be produced by running containers-storage diff  or
       an equivalent.

       Layer  diffs  are  not  typically applied manually.  More often they are applied by a tool which is being
       used to import an entire image, such as skopeo.


OPTIONS
       -f | --file filename

       Specifies the name of a file from which the diff should be read.  If this option is not used, the diff is
       read from standard input.


EXAMPLE
       containers-storage apply-diff -f 71841c97e320d6cde.tar.gz layer1
