DESCRIPTION
    (ALPHA) Displays the version differences of packages between two images.

REQUIRED FLAGS
     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.

       --base-image=BASE_IMAGE
          ID of the image or fully qualified identifier for the image.

          To set the name attribute:
          ▸ provide the argument --base-image on the command line.

          This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in
          this group are specified.

       --base-project=BASE_PROJECT
          Project ID of the Google Cloud project for the image.

          To set the project attribute:
          ▸ provide the argument --base-image on the command line with a
            fully specified name;
          ▸ provide the argument --base-project on the command line;
          ▸ provide the argument --project on the command line;
          ▸ set the property core/project.

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

     This must be specified.

       --diff-image=DIFF_IMAGE
          ID of the image or fully qualified identifier for the image.

          To set the name attribute:
          ▸ provide the argument --diff-image on the command line.

          This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in
          this group are specified.

       --diff-project=DIFF_PROJECT
          Project ID of the Google Cloud project for the image.

          To set the project attribute:
          ▸ provide the argument --diff-image on the command line with a
            fully specified name;
          ▸ provide the argument --diff-project on the command line;
          ▸ provide the argument --project on the command line;
          ▸ set the property core/project.

FLAGS
     --show-added-packages
        Show only the packages added to the diff image.

     --show-removed-packages
        Show only the packages removed from the base image.

     --show-updated-packages
        Show only the packages updated between two images.

LIST COMMAND FLAGS
     --filter=EXPRESSION
        Apply a Boolean filter EXPRESSION to each resource item to be listed.
        If the expression evaluates True, 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:
        --flatten, --sort-by, --filter, --limit.

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

     --page-size=PAGE_SIZE
        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
        unlimited (no paging). Paging may be applied before or after --filter
        and --limit depending on the service.

     --sort-by=[FIELD,...]
        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: --flatten, --sort-by, --filter, --limit.

     --uri
        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
        --format, the formatting is applied on this URI list. To display URIs
        alongside other keys instead, use the uri() transform.

GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
    These flags are available to all commands: --access-token-file, --account,
    --billing-project, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format,
    --help, --impersonate-service-account, --log-http, --project, --quiet,
    --trace-token, --user-output-enabled, --verbosity.

    Run $ gcloud help for details.

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.
