X$ Table

From Oracle FAQ

⧼orafaq-jumptonavigation⧽⧼orafaq-jumptosearch⧽

This is a summary list of X$ table definitions.

The last revision was for Oracle 7.3.2, however, the list is still relevant to later Oracle releases (including Oracle 11g).

The main purpose of this list is to show naming conventions. This is also handy when trying read Oracle trace files. For example, if you see a function name starting with k2t%, you know is if from the [K]ernel Layer, [2]-Phase Commit, [T]ransaction handling code.
