containers-storage-applydiff-using-staging-dir1

Usage

Overview

When a layer is first created, it contains no changes relative to its parent layer. The layer can either be mounted read-write and its contents modified directly, or contents can be added (or removed) by applying a layer diff. A layer diff takes the form of a (possibly compressed) tar archive with additional information present in its headers, and can be produced by running containers-storage diff or an equivalent.

Differently than apply-diff, the command applydiff-using-staging-dir first creates a staging directory and then moves the final result to the destination.
