NAME

       docker-container-diff - Inspect changes to files or directories on a container's
       filesystem

SYNOPSIS

       docker container diff CONTAINER

DESCRIPTION

       List the changed files and directories in a container᾿s filesystem since the container was
       created. Three different types of change are tracked:

       ┌───────┬─────────────────────────────────┐
       │Symbol │ Description                     │
       ├───────┼─────────────────────────────────┤
       │A      │ A file or directory was added   │
       ├───────┼─────────────────────────────────┤
       │D      │ A file or directory was deleted │
       ├───────┼─────────────────────────────────┤
       │C      │ A file or directory was changed │
       └───────┴─────────────────────────────────┘

       You can use the full or shortened container ID or the container name set using docker run
       --name option.
