|

## Description
|
||
|
||
List the changed files and directories in a container᾿s filesystem since the
|
||
container was created. Three different types of change are tracked:
|
||
|
||
| Symbol | Description |
|
||
|--------|---------------------------------|
|
||
| `A` | A file or directory was added |
|
||
| `D` | A file or directory was deleted |
|
||
| `C` | A file or directory was changed |
|
||
|
||
You can use the full or shortened container ID or the container name set using
|
||
`docker run --name` option.
|
||
|
||
## Examples
|
||
|
||
Inspect the changes to an `nginx` container:
|
||
|
||
