Android is Linux based so look for Linux directory structure explanation
which many on the web. In general /etc is commonly used
to store various system settings (of daemons, services etc) and /dev
refers to phisicial devices available in the system. This looks like a

You usually do not write access to these folders unless rooted and even
so, you may also not need that as playing with these may brick your
device if you do not know what are you doing.
