The obvious question, is can you just exclude it from your client view?
I'm guessing, you don't want to do that, so here's a way to do it.  But
this is really only useful if you are regularly executing the sync on
the same folders. 

You can use an automatic label to do this... which is a fairly new
undoc-ed feature.
Create a lable like this:

Label:    auto

Revision:  @now

View:
   //abc/xyz/...
   -//abc/xyz/kkk/... 

Then you can sync using:
p4 sync @=auto

//abc/xyz/kkk/... will be left at #have, but the rest of //abc/xyz/...
will be #head.

Hi,

Is there a short way in command line interface (not by scripting) to
exclude a folder from a recursive "p4 sync" ?
For example: I want to sync //abc/xyz/..., but exclude (e.g do not sync)
//abc/xyz/kkk/...
