It would probably be:
find . -print
which will tell you every file and directory in your current directory as well as each respective directories and subdirectories.

If you're looking for a specific name, you'd want something like:
find /path/to/whereever -name "*searchname*" -print
or better yet, use type to narrow it down to links, files, directories, etc...

Check the man page for your version of find to see lots of other options.
