.SH "REQUIRED FLAGS"

.RS 2m
.TP 2m

Image resource \- Name of the disk image as the diff base. The arguments in this
group can be used to specify the attributes of this resource.

This must be specified.


.RS 2m
.TP 2m
\fB\-\-base\-image\fR=\fIBASE_IMAGE\fR

ID of the image or fully qualified identifier for the image.

To set the \f5name\fR attribute:
.RS 2m
.IP "\(bu" 2m
provide the argument \f5\-\-base\-image\fR on the command line.

specified name;
.IP "\(bu" 2m

.SH "FLAGS"

.RS 2m
.TP 2m
\fB\-\-show\-added\-packages\fR

Show only the packages added to the diff image.

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-show\-removed\-packages\fR

Show only the packages removed from the base image.

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-show\-updated\-packages\fR

Show only the packages updated between two images.

.SH "LIST COMMAND FLAGS"

.RS 2m
.TP 2m
\fB\-\-filter\fR=\fIEXPRESSION\fR

Apply a Boolean filter \fIEXPRESSION\fR to each resource item to be listed. If
the expression evaluates \f5True\fR, then that item is listed. For more details
and examples of filter expressions, run $ gcloud topic filters. This flag
interacts with other flags that are applied in this order: \fB\-\-flatten\fR,
\fB\-\-sort\-by\fR, \fB\-\-filter\fR, \fB\-\-limit\fR.

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-limit\fR=\fILIMIT\fR

Maximum number of resources to list. The default is \fBunlimited\fR. This flag
interacts with other flags that are applied in this order: \fB\-\-flatten\fR,
\fB\-\-sort\-by\fR, \fB\-\-filter\fR, \fB\-\-limit\fR.

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-page\-size\fR=\fIPAGE_SIZE\fR

Some services group resource list output into pages. This flag specifies the
maximum number of resources per page. The default is determined by the service
if it supports paging, otherwise it is \fBunlimited\fR (no paging). Paging may
be applied before or after \fB\-\-filter\fR and \fB\-\-limit\fR depending on the
service.

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-sort\-by\fR=[\fIFIELD\fR,...]

Comma\-separated list of resource field key names to sort by. The default order
is ascending. Prefix a field with ``~'' for descending order on that field. This
flag interacts with other flags that are applied in this order:
\fB\-\-flatten\fR, \fB\-\-sort\-by\fR, \fB\-\-filter\fR, \fB\-\-limit\fR.

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-uri\fR

Print a list of resource URIs instead of the default output, and change the
command output to a list of URIs. If this flag is used with \fB\-\-format\fR,
the formatting is applied on this URI list. To display URIs alongside other keys
instead, use the \fBuri()\fR transform.

.SH "GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS"

These flags are available to all commands: \-\-access\-token\-file, \-\-account,
\-\-billing\-project, \-\-configuration, \-\-flags\-file, \-\-flatten,

.SH "NOTES"

This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If this
command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct project,
you might be trying to access an API with an invitation\-only early access
allowlist.
