Library

Defines a library name. The library name is mapped to the pathname of a directory in the host file system by the VHDL tool, not within the language.

Syntax

  library LibraryName, ... ;

Where

-entity -architecture -package -package body -configuration See (VHDL) File

Tips

The library name WORK is implicitly defined to mean the working library, so it is confusing to create libraries named WORK.

Example

  library IEEE, Project;
