.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, 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.
