find command + print manipulation

Question

with the following command:

    find /tmp  -depth -name file

I get the:

   /tmp/file
   /tmp/test_file/file

But what I need to add to find command in order to get the following print?

   file=/tmp/file
   file=/tmp/test_file/file

Maybe with the printf option:

find /tmp -depth -name "file" -printf "file=%h/%f\n"

	What is the ampersand for? I get a literal one in the output. You could use `%p` instead of `%h/%f`. – Dennis Williamson Jan 25 '11 at 16:47
	Don't know where the & comes from, must slipped in while editing the line ;) I somehow like separating path and filename, not exactly sure why, but yes, %p would also work. – SvenW Jan 25 '11 at 16:54
