I see what he wants.
Many word-processors have the option of embedding the filename and
location in a header, footer, or other location. When you print a web
page, you can usually tell the browser to include the URL. He wants
something equivalent to that here. I assume it's so that when he's
looking at a print-out, or a copy sent to someone else, he knows where
to find the source file.
I started with:
# find ~/ -name filename -exec echo "{}"
and then my shell scripting fails. You want to append the output of
the command to the file represented by the output of the command.
Conceptually:
# find ~/ -name filename -exec echo "{}" >> "{}" ";"
but it fails, I think on the append re-direct.
Maybe something with?
# find ~/ -name filename -ls | xargs
