18       The output is prefixed with the following symbols:

20
21       ┌───────┬────────────────────────────────┐
22       │Symbol │ Description                    │
23       ├───────┼────────────────────────────────┤
24       │A      │ A file or directory was added. │
25       ├───────┼────────────────────────────────┤
26       │D      │ A  file   or   directory   was │
27       │       │ deleted.                       │
28       ├───────┼────────────────────────────────┤
29       │C      │ A   file   or   directory  was │
30       │       │ changed.                       │
31       └───────┴────────────────────────────────┘
32

OPTIONS

34   --format
35       Alter the output into a different format. The  only  valid  format  for
36       podman container diff is json.
37
38
39   --latest, -l
40       Instead  of  providing  the  container name or ID, use the last created
41       container. If you use methods other than Podman to run containers  such
42       as  CRI-O,  the  last  started  container could be from either of those
43       methods. (This option is not available with the remote Podman client)
