Why are the files printed twice?

find . *.{h,cc} -maxdepth 1 -type f
./file7.h
./file8.h
./file9.cc
file7.h
file8.h
file9.cc

Is this correct? How do I specify file patterns?

    It’s there twice because it’s finding it first under ., and then under the actual filename as given to find as a place to search. Perhaps you meant to use -name while escaping the wildcards.
