The output of SWIG is a C/C++ file that contains all of the wrapper

<p>
The output file created by SWIG normally
The C/C++ output file created by SWIG often
contains everything that is needed to construct a extension module
for the target scripting language. SWIG is not a stub compiler nor is
for the target scripting language. SWIG is not a stub compiler nor is it
usually necessary to edit the output file (and if you look at the output,
you probably won't want to). To build the final extension module, the
SWIG output file is compiled and linked with the rest of your C/C++
program to create a shared library.
<p>
Many target languages will also generate proxy class files in the
target language. The default output directory for these language
specific files is the same directory as the generated C/C++ file. This can
can be modified using the <tt>-outdir</tt> option. For example:
<blockquote><pre>
$ swig -c++ -python -outdir pyfiles -o cppfiles/example_wrap.cpp example.i
</pre></blockquote>
If the directories <tt>cppfiles</tt> and <tt>pyfiles</tt> exist, the following
will be generated:
<blockquote><pre>
cppfiles/example_wrap.cpp
pyfiles/example.py
