- Generate a binding between C++ and Python:
`swig -c++ -python -o {{path/to/output_wrapper.cpp}} {{path/to/swig_file.i}}`
- Generate a binding between C++ and Go:
`swig -go -cgo -intgosize 64 -c++ {{path/to/swig_file.i}}`
- Generate a binding between C and Java:
`swig -java {{path/to/swig_file.i}}`
- Generate a binding between C and Ruby and prefix the Ruby module with {{foo::bar::}}:
`swig -ruby -prefix "{{foo::bar::}}" {{path/to/swig_file.i}}`
