I want to find the differences between tar folder and an ordinary folder. So I used “tar d folder2.tar folder” command in UNIX command line, but i didn’t get any output. I couldn’t even get the bash command prompt. How do i use “tar -d” command to find the differences between a tarred folder and an ordinary folder having files?

    It’s tar df folder2.tar folder. You have to add the f flag so it doesn’t try to read the tar from stdin.
