CWEB consists of two programs, ctangle and cweave, a TeX
macro file, and maybe a few other bits and pieces.  ctangle
processes a CWEB file and writes a files of C (or C++)
code.  cweave processes a CWEB file a writes a TeX file with
formatted text and pretty-printed program code.  It also
generates a table of contents, an index of identifiers,
etc.  ctangle isn't used after the executable is built.

That's _3DLDF: The Program_ in the file `3DLDFprg.pdf',
which documents the program code itself.  The manual is the
_3DLDF User and Reference Manual_ in `3DLDF.pdf'.  The
number 881 is a section number.  The page number is 233
(look slightly to the right).

The information you want is in the manual, starting on page 54.
The introductory chapters of the manual explain how to get
started using 3DLDF.
