VHDL Packages

What can you put in a package?
- Subprograms (i.e., functions and procedures)
- Data and type declarations such as:
  - User record definition
  - User types and enumerated types
  - Constants
  - Files
  - Aliases
  - Attributes
- Component declarations
Entities and Architectures cannot be declared or defined in a package
To use a package, make it visible via the "use" language construct
