    13  ## Description
    14  
    15  List the changed files and directories in a container᾿s filesystem since the
    16  container was created. Three different types of change are tracked:
    17  
    18  | Symbol | Description                     |
    19  |--------|---------------------------------|
    20  | `A`    | A file or directory was added   |
    21  | `D`    | A file or directory was deleted |
    22  | `C`    | A file or directory was changed |
    23  
    24  You can use the full or shortened container ID or the container name set using
    25  `docker run --name` option.
    26
