34 --format
35 Alter the output into a different format. The only valid format for
36 podman container diff is json.

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,
44 including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines)
