Pretty sure it first appeared in 10.10, that's the first one for which I see 
the man page in the OS source code.

Implementations lag behind standards, although admittedly that's a rather 
substantial lag. :-)

(I've downloaded quite a number of versions of the source, and for each built 
an index file listing the name of each .tar.gz file along with each file within 
it, so a simple grep can find some things quickly, although in this case I had 
to also grep for xnu, to keep the search from picking up things like gnutar 
that optionally _used_ openat)
