More information.

• Analyze a VHDL source file and produce an object file:

ghdl -a {filename.vhdl}

• Elaborate a design (where `{design}` is the name of a configuration unit, entity unit or architecture unit):

ghdl -e {design}

• Run an elaborated design:

ghdl -r {design}

• Run an elaborated design and dump output to a waveform file:

ghdl -r {design} --wave={output.ghw}

• Check the syntax of a VHDL source file:

ghdl -s {filename.vhdl}
