documentation for this version of TeX can be found in the info file

Web2C: A TeX implementation.
The
weave
program is used to create a TeX file for viewing a Web program.
It takes appropriate care of typographic details like page
layout and the use of indentation, italics, boldface, etc., and it supplies
extensive cross-index information that it gathers automatically.
The command line arguments are the same as for
tangle
except for the option:
-x
says to omit the index, module name list, and table of contents pages.
(A
CONTENTS.tex
file will still be written when the TeX file is processed,
however, unless some macros in
webmac.tex
are redefined.)
The output TeX file name is formed by adding
.tex
to the root of the Web file name.
There are several macros
that probably should be redefined by
the programmer at the beginning of the Web file.
It is a good idea to set \title
to the name of the program.
And, to cause output of only changed modules, one can say
\let\maybe=\iffalse (usually as the first change in the
change file).
