Hello Geoffrey,

VHDL is a hardware description language used to design chips/FPGA.
Verilog is another example.

You can find an example of such VHDL file here:
http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/fedora-electronic-lab.git?p=fedora-electronic-lab.git;a=blob_plain;f=act299/act299_tb.vhd

To me, it is nothing more than a text file on your computer. However
to make use of this VHDL file, you might need some EDA tools.
If you are curious have a look at:
