The relationship between a Custom subclass and its view

Hi,

When we select in the identity inspector a custom subclass of UIViewController to a View what are we doing there? I understand that the custom subclass controls the view or it manages that object in the scene. But what are we actually doing there when we set our custom view controller to a View (under the hood)?

Thank you.
