NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

       podman diff [options] container|image [container|image]

DESCRIPTION

       Displays  changes  on  a  container or image's filesystem.  The container or image 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 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, including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines)

EXAMPLE

              $ podman diff container1
              A /myscript.sh

              $ podman diff --format json myimage
              {
                "changed": [
                  "/usr",
                  "/usr/local",
                  "/usr/local/bin"
                ],
                "added": [
                  "/usr/local/bin/docker-entrypoint.sh"
                ]
              }

              $ podman diff container1 image1
              A /test
