# Perf View

The Perf view is where all the profiling results can be easily read.

The tree structure displayed above describes one profile of one or more events in the following manner:

- Events -- the name of the profiling event used by Perf
  - Session -- the name of the session the profile is stored in
    - Image -- the binary being profiled
      - Symbol -- symbols gathered from the binary's debug information
        - Sample -- individual Perf samples correlated to line numbers of source code
      - Dependent Images -- other binaries related to the run of the program; shared libraries or kernel modules
        - Image -- the dependent binary
          - Symbol -- same as above
            - Sample -- same as above
