        star -tv -find -type d < file.tar

Or if you like to see the listing in typical find(1) output listing:

        star -t -find -type d -ls -false < file.tar

Most find(1) constructs (including time stamps) work on archives and not only 
in create mode on filesystems.

A recent star source is in:

        ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/schily/

and it compiles/runs for/on Android - not shure whether this is true for gtar
as Android contains a lot of nasty things that prevent gnu autoconf from 
working as expected an as gnu autoconf does not support cross-compilation.

For those who don't know: star turned 30 in August 2012.
