- -d, --dirs
- Tell the
sending side to include any directories that
are encountered. Unlike --recursive, a directory's
contents are not copied
unless the directory name specified is "." or ends with a trailing slash
(e.g. ".", "dir/.", "dir/", etc.). Without this option or the
--recursive option, rsync will skip all directories it
encounters (and
output a message to that effect for each one). If you specify both
--dirs and --recursive, --recursive
takes precedence.
The --dirs option is implied by the --files-from option or the --list-only option (including an implied --list-only usage) if --recursive wasn't specified (so that directories are seen in the listing). Specify --no-dirs (or --no-d) if you want to turn this off.
There is also a backward-compatibility helper option, --old-dirs (or --old-d) that tells rsync to use a hack of "-r --exclude='/*/*'" to get an older rsync to list a single directory without recursing.

However the contents or file data does get copied over when using the -
l flag.
