SWIG(1) General Commands Manual SWIG(1)

swig - Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator

swig [options] file

The swig command is used to create wrapper code to connect C and C++ code to scripting languages like Perl, Python, etc. from the definition of the interface. For detailed information on writing those interface definitions please refer to /usr/share/doc/swig-doc/Manual/index.html from the swig-doc package. This manpage concentrates on explaining the invocation of the swig command.
