Here is the Powerhell code for exporting a list without contents.
$web = Get-SPWeb -Identity "SiteUrl"
$list = $web.Lists["ListName"]
$list.SaveAsTemplate("File_Name.stp", "List_Template_Title",
"Description", $false);

1Great. Have my upvote :) (I usually don't care, but perhaps
$web.Dispose()?)eirikb– eirikb2014-02-20 09:41:51 +00:00Commented Feb 20, 2014 at 9:41
You can use the SPList.SaveAsTemplate cmdlet for that.
SPSite oSiteCollection = SPContext.Current.Site;
SPList oList = oSiteCollection.AllWebs["Site_Name"].Lists["List_Title"];
oList.SaveAsTemplate("File_Name.stp", "List_Template_Title",
"Description", true);
Then upload the template file into your destination site's template gallery and you should be able to create a list from it.
Or, if you'd like to preserve all the content versions and permissions, you can use Export-SPWeb.
Export-SPWeb http://youSPSite/ -path ”D:\backup\Documents.cmp” -ItemUrl /Documents -IncludeVersions All -IncludeUserSecurity
**edit - I now see that my first code is c#. Crappy morning today, please have a look at Nadeem's code below to see the same method used in PowerShell

the url points to your site/web and the itemurl is a relative url to your list. Please have a look at the documentation that I provided.Rafał Saltarski– Rafał Saltarski2014-02-20 10:07:28 +00:00Commented Feb 20, 2014 at 10:07
