.SH NAME
swig \- Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B swig
.RI [ options ] " file"
.SH DESCRIPTION
The swig command is used to create wrapper code to connect C and C++ code
to scripting languages like Perl, Python, Tcl etc. from the definition of
the interface.
For detailed information on writing those interface definitions please
refer to /usr/share/doc/swig-doc-2.0.9/Doc/Manual/index.html from the
swig-doc package.
This manpage concentrates on explaining the invocation of the swig command.
