There are two problems with that. First, by default with grep, "." will match any character and you may get too much output. So, instead of grep .cmap you may prefer grep \\.cmap or fgrep .cmap The other problem is that you won't be able to know the directories that contain the output filenames. A similar solution under zsh, without this drawback: ls **/*.cmap(^/) or ls -d **/*.cmap or some other variant, depending on what you want. However, the ls will be here invoked once all the directories have been searched, not in parallel of the search like with the other methods, and if there is too much output, you will get an error due to a kernel limitation (a workaround is to use a zsh builtin such as printf instead of ls if you just need the pathname). > find . -name *.cmp > would also list all such files.
