As opposed to the moderator, my first response would be - did you try the manual pages? In specific, try: man -k tar which tells man to do a keyword search for man page entries dealing with the string of characters 'tar'. I found a tar man page in section 5 which should get one started. The problem with using the GNU source and man pages is that there is no guarantee that what it describes is completely compatible with what is being used by /bin/tar - it might be a superset of traditional tar.
