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"
            ]
       }
