What is w file? How to open w files?
File type specification:
The w file extension is associated with the CWEB documenting system for Unix and Unix-based operating systems.
CWEB is a version of WEB for documenting C, C++, and Java programs.
WEB was adapted to C by Silvio Levy in 1987, and since then both Knuth and Levy have revised and enhanced the system in many ways, notably to support C++ and ANSI C.
Thus CWEB combines TeX with today's most widely used professional programming languages.
This w file type entry was marked as obsolete and no longer supported file format.
This type of file is no longer actively used and is most likely obsolete. This is typically the case for system files in old operating systems, file types from long discontinued software, or previous versions of certain file types (like documents, projects etc.) that were replaced in higher versions of their original programs.
