Try using in a terminal:

Code: Select all

man tar

Code: Select all

man tr

Using man with the command you want to see the man page for.
Will either give you the man page or a search result for where it is on the internet.

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be older.
This is not what I expected :o
