Find files with readable permissions

The find command can return Permission denied directory errors.

To skip these, test the permissions. If there are no readable permissions, then prune it:

find . ! -perm +222 -prune -o -name '*foo*' -print

Some versions of the find command provide a non-POSIX -readble flag:

find . ! -readable -prune -o -name '*foo*' -print
