Correct. I only get directories not files.
Here is a test hierarchy of directories and files.
mkdir dir1 dir2 dir3
mkdir dir1/foo
mkdir dir1/foo/bar
mkdir dir2/foo
touch dir1/foo/bar/FILE
touch dir1/foo/FILE
find . -exec ls -ldog {} +
drwxrwxr-x 5 4096 2008-03-02 22:54 .
drwxrwxr-x 3 4096 2008-03-02 22:54 ./dir1
drwxrwxr-x 3 4096 2008-03-02 22:54 ./dir1/foo
-rw-rw-r-- 1 0 2008-03-02 22:54 ./dir1/foo/FILE
drwxrwxr-x 2 4096 2008-03-02 22:54 ./dir1/foo/bar
-rw-rw-r-- 1 0 2008-03-02 22:54 ./dir1/foo/bar/FILE
drwxrwxr-x 3 4096 2008-03-02 22:54 ./dir2
drwxrwxr-x 2 4096 2008-03-02 22:54 ./dir2/foo
drwxrwxr-x 2 4096 2008-03-02 22:54 ./dir3
Here is a test case:
find . -type d | tar cf - -T- --no-recursion | tar tvf -
drwxrwxr-x bob/bob 0 2008-03-02 22:54 ./
drwxrwxr-x bob/bob 0 2008-03-02 22:54 ./dir1/
drwxrwxr-x bob/bob 0 2008-03-02 22:54 ./dir1/foo/
drwxrwxr-x bob/bob 0 2008-03-02 22:54 ./dir1/foo/bar/
drwxrwxr-x bob/bob 0 2008-03-02 22:54 ./dir3/
drwxrwxr-x bob/bob 0 2008-03-02 22:54 ./dir2/
drwxrwxr-x bob/bob 0 2008-03-02 22:54 ./dir2/foo/
Only directories are processed. Works for me.
