How to find all publicly visible targets in a Bazel workspace

Question

I am trying to query the list of Bazel targets having public visibility. Some of our Bazel targets have visibility specified explicitly, e.g.:

cc_library(
    name = "xxx_util",
    visibility = ["//visibility:public",],
    ...
)

while most targets are implicitly public, as their BUILD files have default public visibility specified, e.g.

package(default_visibility = ["//visibility:public"])

I need a list of all such targets, so that I can copy their output to a certain location automatically after my Bazel workspace is built.

I am new to Bazel and can't figure out the query...

I think the previous answer does cover the attribute query for visibility attribute restricted results. For posterity, I would add that if you simply want to find all targets from current directory, you could do:

bazel query ...
