Node:Import mode, Next:Make mode, Previous:Directory mode, Up:GHDL modes
Add files in the work design library.
$ ghdl -i [options] file...
All the files specified in the command line are scanned, parsed and added in the libraries but as not yet analyzed. No object files are created.
The purpose of this mode is to localize design units in the design files. The make mode will then be able to recursively build a hierarchy from an entity name or a configuration name.
Since the files are parsed, there must be correct files. However, since they are not analyzed, many errors are tolerated in this mode.
Note that all the files are added in the work library. If you have many libraries, you must use the command for each library.
See Make mode, to actually build the design.
