Print full path to file from terminal?

Question

From the terminal lets say I navigate into a directory with a file that I'd like to "print the full path to including the file name with the spaces converted to \ \". Is there a command to do this from the terminal?

The two specific things I'm having trouble with are

printing out the full path with the spaces converted in \ \
printing out the full path including the file I'm interested in

Perhaps there are some flags that can be added to the "find" command?

find "`pwd`" -name will print the full path however, I'm not sure how to convert the " " into "\ \" — mbigras, May 25 '14 at 15:01
What terminal? For example: Linux bash, Windows powershell, etc. — wilsotc, May 26 '14 at 00:22

See greadlink -f in coreutils as described by @tomyjwu in another post
