Title
Body
The problem: I have a back-end process that at some point he collect and build a big tar file. This tar receive few directories and an exclude files. the process can take up to few minutes and i want to report in my front-end process (GUI) about the progress of the taring process (This is a big issue for a user that press download button and it seems like nothing is happening...). i know i can use -v -R in the tar command and count files and size progress but i am looking for some kind of tar pre-run mode / dry run to help me evaluate either the expected number of files or the expected tar size. the command I am using: tar -jcf 'FILE.tgz' 'exclude_files' 'include_dirs_and_files' 10x for everyone who is willing to assist.
