22       ┌───────┬────────────────────────────────┐

27       │D      │ A   file   or   directory  was │
28       │       │ deleted.                       │
29       ├───────┼────────────────────────────────┤
30       │C      │ A  file   or   directory   was │
31       │       │ changed.                       │

OPTIONS

35   --format
36       Alter  the  output  into a different format.  The only valid format for
37       podman diff is json.
38
39
40   --latest, -l
41       Instead of providing the container name or ID,  use  the  last  created
42       container.  If you use methods other than Podman to run containers such
43       as CRI-O, the last started container could  be  from  either  of  those
44       methods.  (This  option is not available with the remote Podman client,
45       including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines)
