rsync - dirs and symlinks only, not contents

[aurfalien@xxxxxxxxx]

Hi all,

I have a need to copy only dirs, subdirs and sym links only without the need to copy contents.

I originally used the following test to observe behavior;

rsync -a -f"+ */" -f"- *" source destination

So I noticed that dirs/subdirs were copied but without contents as desired.

I have several sym links (dir sym links) that I would also to to copy over.

I tried this;

rsync -a -f"+ */" -f"- * -l" source destination

Although my sym links show, they are broken.

Any thoughts on how to copy dirs, subdirs and sym links only w/o contents?
