On macos I get:

Usage:

Thank you for report!
If you remove these options, the rest code is working?

Not sure. The progress output is neat so I installed GNU tar from homebrew as a workaround.

OK then I guess yes, the only thing we need is to add check for tar version

fixed in v1.3.0, it would be nice if you could check with bsdtar on OSX

I just tested and it does work fine. However, you might end up looking at If you don't see a command prompt, try pressing enter. for a while which could be confusing. Perhaps tar -v would be best, but it could become noisy..
