If you are inside a directory location in Terminal and you want to get the absolute path of a particular file then you can make use of the readlink command with -f or --canonicalize flag.
Example:
bash-3.2$ readlink -f cert.pem
/Users/c2ctech/cert.pem
As you can see, the output is the absolute file path with the file name.
