How does the uavWaypointFollower object work?

I want to create a Dubins path for a fixedwing UAV to fly. In a MATLAB example, a set of wayoints is first obtained using a planner and then the points are interpolated. Using this interpolated path, the uavWaypointFollower outputs lookAheadPoints and desired heading for each point. I dont understand how and what exactly does this object does to give the said outputs.
