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, including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines)

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"
                   ]
              }
