--schema-only flag is the equivalence of -s

I also want an option that would exclude  "CREATE INDEX "  whenever
a schema is being dump

The reason for this is that whenever I tried to migrate database
whenever I restore a schema with indexes and then
restore the data separately it took more or less 24 hours instead of
the usual 1 hour more or less.

For example let say I want to use this particular schema from the test
server
since the stored functions and/or views are already updated

and then my data would come from the production server which has a different

version of postgres and the schema (particularly the stored functions/views)
that
would is already deprecated from the test server.

So I just need to dump the schema from the test server without the indexes
and restore the new schema to a new database/server and restore the dump
from the production server to the new database/server.

I hope I explain my side properly
