Find all files with group write only permissions
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
0
In the following example directory
$ ls -l
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 user testgroup 0 12 feb 12:00 file1
-rw-rw-r-- 1 user testgroup 0 12 feb 12:00 file2
-rw--w-r-- 1 user testgroup 0 12 feb 12:00 file3
-rw-r--r-- 1 user testgroup 0 12 feb 12:00 file4
-rw-rwxr-- 1 user testgroup 0 12 feb 12:00 file5
I would like to find all the files where group permissions are exactly -w-, that is 2 (only write permission).
I am using
$ bash --version
GNU bash, versione 4.4.23(1)-release (amd64-portbld-freebsd12.0)
on FreeBSD 12. It is not GNU find.
My attempt was with
$ find . -perm -g+w
./file2
./file3
./file5
but this returns all the files having at least group write permissions; I would like to list instead the files whose group is only permitted to write. How to accomplish this?

You can add more conditions to exclude files with other permission bits set.
find . -perm -g+w ! -perm -g+r ! -perm -g+x
or (as proposed in steeldriver's comment)
find . -perm -g+w ! -perm /g+rx
Example:
$ ls -l file*
-rw-r--r-- 1 bodo bodo 0 Feb 12 12:50 file1
-rw-rw-r-- 1 bodo bodo 0 Feb 12 12:50 file2
-rw--w-r-- 1 bodo bodo 0 Feb 12 12:50 file3
-rw--wxr-- 1 bodo bodo 0 Feb 12 12:50 file4
-rw-rwxr-- 1 bodo bodo 0 Feb 12 12:50 file5
$ find . -perm -g+w ! -perm -g+r ! -perm -g+x
./file3
$
$ find . -perm -g+w ! -perm /g+rx
./file3

+1, it works! It can surely be used this way. But I wonder if there is a direct way: it would be weird if there wasn't.
