gtar seem to be a solaris package, it’s basically the same as tar on linux, if not can you explain what the difference is?

In addition to Thomas’ answer (gtar = GNU tar) I’ve seen a reference to
…gtar files so perhaps you’re wanting to extract from a gzipped tar
file? If so, you can use tar with -z option.
