Could be considered off topic, if so sorry! I thought it would be useful to see what changes between versions, I thought this would be very simple, just a shell script to report the output of binary and --version, -V or -v whatever floats its boat. Generally the GNU versions use --version but not sure about the Sun versions. Question how can I find the version of tar in /usr/bin as the man page doesn't seem to tell me. Tried strings /usr/bin/tar | grep -i ver But nothing of note came out!
