detail | Specifies showing configuration difference including default configuration choices; If not selected, default configuration information does not appear. |
context | Adjusts the number of context lines around the difference output. Default is three lines. |
lines | Specifies the number of context lines around the difference output. Default is three lines. |
If not specified, from-config-file is the booted configuration; if not specified, to-config-file is the running configuration.

Use this command to compare the difference between two configuration files, or configuration files with the running configuration. When using the save configuration automatic {every minutes {primary | secondary | existing-config | new-config} | never} command this can be especially helpful for comparing what changed between the running (or "startup") configuration and the most recently autosaved configuration.
