## containers-storage-diff 1 "August 2016"
## NAME
containers-storage diff - Generate a layer diff
## SYNOPSIS
**containers-storage** **diff** [*options* [...]] *layerNameOrID*
## DESCRIPTION
Generates a layer diff representing the changes made in the specified layer.
If the layer was populated using a layer diff, the result aims to be
bit-for-bit identical with the one that was applied, including the type of
compression which was applied.
## OPTIONS
**-f | --file** *file*
Write the diff to the specified file instead of stdout.
**-c | --gzip**
Force the diff to be compressed using gzip compression. If the layer was
populated by a layer diff, and that layer diff was compressed, this will be
done automatically.
**-u | --uncompressed**
Force the diff to be uncompressed. If the layer was populated by a layer diff,
and that layer diff was compressed, it will be decompressed for output.
## EXAMPLE
**containers-storage diff my-base-layer**
