Quick Start Guide

Since this is the user and reference manual for GHDL, it does not contain an introduction to VHDL. Thus, the reader should have at least a basic knowledge of VHDL. A good knowledge of VHDL language reference manual (usually called LRM) is a plus. Nevertheless, multiple explained examples are provided, in the hope that they are useful for users to learn about both GHDL and VHDL.
