swig  -  produce  scripting  language wrapper code from an
       interface specification file


SYNOPSIS

       swig [ options ] file.i


DESCRIPTION

       swig generates wrapper code needed to integrate C,C++, and
       Objective-C   functions  and  variables  with  Tcl,  Perl,
       Python, and Guile and produces documentation.  Consult the
       SWIG user manual for more details.


OPTIONS

       The  following  major  options are available. More options
       are available by typing 'swig -help'.

       -tcl              Generate Tcl wrappers

       -dnone            Generate no documentation

       -I incdir         Look in incdir for SWIG related  include
                         files

       -llibfile         Append a SWIG library file to the input.

       -D symbol         Define a symbol symbol  for  conditional
                         compilation.

       -v                verbose mode (perhaps overly verbose)

       -version          Print SWIG version information

       -nocoment         Ignore all comments in interface file

       -strict n         Set  pointer type-checking strictness to


       -o outfile        Change the name of the output file.

       -c                Do not include  SWIG  runtime  functions
                         (used  for  creating  multi-module pack­
                         ages).

       -c++              Enable special processing for C++.

       -objc             Enable Objective-C parsing.

       -make_default     Generate   default   constructors    and
                         destructors.

       -co               Check a file out of the SWIG library.

       -ci               Check a file into the SWIG library (must
                         have write permission)

       -stat             Display statistics.

       -help             Print all of the available command  line
                         options.


INTERFACE FILES

       The  interface  file is specified on the swig command line
       as the file to operate on.  You may specify only one  file
       on  the  command  line.  (See the include directive in the
       user´s manual for ways around this.)

       As input, an interface file (typically with a  .i  suffix)
       must be given.  A minimal specification of this file is as
       follows:

        %module mymodule
        %{
        /* Include your headers here */
        %}

        /* List variables and function prototypes in ANSI C  syn­
       tax */

        For example :

        %module example
        %{
        #include "my_header.h"
        %}

        extern int My_variable;
        extern double foo(double a, double b);
        extern void bar(char *);

       Given  the  input  "file.i".  swig produces an output file
       called "file_wrap.c" (You can override this using  the  -o
       option).  This file should be compiled with the C/C++ com­
       piler and linked with the rest of your code.
