    16  ## diff
    17  
    18  ```markdown
    19  Usage:  docker diff CONTAINER
    20  
    21  Inspect changes to files or directories on a container's filesystem
    22  
    23  Options:
    24        --help   Print usage
    25  ```
    26  
    27  List the changed files and directories in a container᾿s filesystem since the
    28  container was created. Three different types of change are tracked:
    29  
    30  | Symbol | Description                     |
    31  |--------|---------------------------------|
    32  | `A`    | A file or directory was added   |
    33  | `D`    | A file or directory was deleted |
    34  | `C`    | A file or directory was changed |
    35  
    36  You can use the full or shortened container ID or the container name set using
    37  `docker run --name` option.
    38
