The Android VectorDrawable builds upon the SVG file format. (https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/drawable/VectorDrawable)
> android:pathData
Defines path data using exactly same format as "d" attribute in the SVG's path data. This is defined in the viewport space.
You can read full documentation about SVG file formats for paths here: https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/paths.html
To get you started, the contents are a list of commands and locations. For the ones you asked about:
* M - Move To - Moves the pen to a location
* C - Cubic Bezier Curve - Draws a curve from one point to a second using control points to define the curve
* Z - Close Path - Closes the path you are drawing.
