Is there any unix command that can add the file name to the first line of a

I want to use the following script to add headers in batch

#!/bin/sh
#set -x

for i in `ls $1`
do

concatenate_file_name $i

done


e.g. input files in directory TEST

a.txt
b.txt

a.txt:
I am a boy

b.txt
you are a girl

==>

a.txt.modified
a.txt
I am a boy

b.txt.modified
b.txt
you are a girl




#!/bin/bash
for i in `ls $1`
do
cat $i > temp #save data
echo $i > $i #write filename to file
cat temp >> $i #append data to file
done
rm temp

I think there are better ways, but this would work!
