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 is 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.  Note:  the  last  started
       container  can be from other users of Podman on the host machine.  (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"
            ]
       }
