You didn’t specify a language, so I assume you want a command that can be run in whatever shell you are using. The
lscommand has the-l(that is an ell) option which prints out a lot of information about the file. The last bit of information is the full path, so you should be able to sayon any SUS2 compliant machine (which should be all of the commercial UNIXes). This will have a problem if the file or the any of the directories leading up to the file have spaces though.
