A library is used to store all predefined words, keys, programs/ functions that can be used directly in VHDL programming. A number of VHDL constructs may be separately analyzed for inclusion in a design library. These constructs are called library units.

The primary library units are entity declarations, package declarations and configuration declarations. The secondary library units are architecture bodies and package bodies. These library units depend on the specification of their interface in a corresponding primary library unit, so the primary unit must be analyzed before any corresponding secondary unit.

Libraries are referred to using identifiers called logical names. This name must be translated by the host operating system into an implementation dependent storage name. For example, design libraries may be implemented as database files, and the logical name might be used to determine the database file name. Library units in a given library can be referred to by prefixing their name with the library logical name.

Why 1164 used in encoder vhdl programming?

VHDL program follows IEEE library. This means that all the data types, commands, keywords etc. used in a VHDL program are stored in a library called IEEE library. This library will be available in the EDA tool which is executing the VHDL program. 1164 is a package where all the logic gates are defined. This is a sub part of IEEE library. As encoder program requires logic gates, we need to use 1164 package in the code.
