Hello!
I'm trying to use find(1) in a POSIX way to list all the files (not
directories) with at least one execute bit set. In other words, all
the following modes should cause a match:

-rwxr-xr-x  1 myuser  wheel  6 Aug 14 11:46 file1
-rwxr--r--  1 myuser  wheel  7 Aug 14 11:46 file2
-rw-r-xr--  1 myuser  wheel  4 Aug 14 11:52 file3
-rw-r--r-x  1 myuser  wheel  6 Aug 14 11:53 file4
-rwxr-xr--  1 myuser  wheel  6 Aug 14 12:10 file5

(also `rwxr--r-x' should match, and so on).

The only way I found so far is the following:

find /target_directory/ -type f -perm -001 -or -type f -perm -010 -or -type f 
-perm -100

It seems to work, but it's somewhat cumbersome. In GNU find, there is a
single dedicated option, `-executable'.
Is there a more compact, but still POSIX, way to obtain the same
result with NetBSD's find(1)?

Bye!

Rocky
