I would like to confirm my file.tar is been tar-ed correctly before I remove them. But I have very limited disc space to untar it.
Can I just do the listing instead of actual extract it? Can I say confirm folder integrity if the listing is sucessful without problem?

Coming from this thread, just wondering if there is an option to check if the Tar of the files/directory will be without any file-errors without actually making the tar.

progress
PROGRESS(1) BSD General Commands Manual PROGRESS(1)
NAME
progress -- feed input to a command, displaying a progress bar
SYNOPSIS
progress [-ez] [-b buffersize] [-f file] [-l length] [-p prefix] cmd [args ...]
DESCRIPTION
The progress utility opens a pipe to cmd and feeds an input stream into it, while displaying a progress bar to standard output. If no file-
name is specified, progress reads from standard input. Where feasible, progress fstat(2)s the input to determine the length, so a time esti-
mate can be calculated.
If no length is specified or determined, progress simply displays a count of the data and the data rate.
The options are as follows:
-b buffersize
Read in buffers of the specified size (default 64k). An optional suffix (per strsuftoll(3)) may be given.
-e Display progress to standard error instead of standard output.
-f file Read from the specified file instead of standard input.
-l length Use the specified length for the time estimate, rather than attempting to fstat(2) the input. An optional suffix (per
strsuftoll(3)) may be given.
-p prefix Print the given ``prefix'' text before (left of) the progress bar.
-z Filter the input through gunzip(1). If -f is specified, calculate the length using gzip -l.
EXIT STATUS
progress exits 0 on success.
EXAMPLES
The command
progress -zf file.tar.gz tar xf -
will extract the file.tar.gz displaying the progress bar as time passes:
0% | | 0 0.00 KiB/s --:-- ETA
40% |******** | 273 KiB 271.95 KiB/s 00:01 ETA
81% |*********************** | 553 KiB 274.61 KiB/s 00:00 ETA
100% |*******************************| 680 KiB 264.59 KiB/s 00:00 ETA
If it is preferred to monitor the progress of the decompression process (unlikely), then
progress -f file.tar.gz tar zxf -
could be used.
The command
dd if=/dev/rwd0d ibs=64k |
progress -l 120g dd of=/dev/rwd1d obs=64k
will copy the 120 GiB disk wd0 (/dev/rwd0d) to wd1 (/dev/rwd1d), displaying a progress bar during the operation.

HISTORY
progress first appeared in NetBSD 1.6.1. The dynamic progress bar display code is part of ftp(1).
AUTHORS
progress was written by John Hawkinson <jhawk@NetBSD.org>. ftp(1)'s dynamic progress bar was written by Luke Mewburn.
BUGS
Since the progress bar is displayed asynchronously, it may be difficult to read some error messages, both those produced by the pipeline, as
well as those produced by progress itself.
