.SH NAME
.PP
containers-storage applydiff-using-staging-dir - Apply a layer diff to a layer using a staging directory

.SH SYNOPSIS
.PP
\fBcontainers-storage\fP \fBapplydiff-using-staging-dir\fP \fIlayerNameOrID\fP \fIsource\fP

.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
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
\fIcontainers-storage diff\fP or an equivalent.

.PP
Differently than \fBapply-diff\fP, the command \fBapplydiff-using-staging-dir\fP
first creates a staging directory and then moves the final result to the destination.

.SH EXAMPLE
.PP
\fBcontainers-storage applydiff-using-staging-dir 5891b5b522 /path/to/diff\fP
