That documentation is about something else all together. Ignore it.

Why not give your program a name?

    g++ file.cc -o my_program

If there are say three input files do:

    g++ file1.cc file2.cc file3.cc -o my_program

Then to run it :

    ./my_program

Its also a good habit to turn on warning messages like this:

    g++ -W -Wall -Werror file.cc -o my_program


and so on. Soon you'll need to learn how to write a Makefile :-)
