Hello,
maybe a strange question but I was looking for the version of tar
if its possible ?
I tried some things but not exactly what I want, also looked in
the pkg list but I didn't seem to find it ?
Hi Dirk,
/usr/bin/tar is part of the core operating system
package, pkg://omnios/SUNWcs. It is "Solaris tar", which was derived
from version 7 UNIX a long time ago [1]. As such, I'm not aware that
it was ever versioned separately from the Solaris OS, nor from
illumos, as a fork of OpenSolaris.
Someone with deeper Solaris/UNIX history knowledge could probably
share some insights. :)
