This is the reason I recommend against using mfe.c based frontends. There was never any
proper documentation on how they work and what different settings in ODB common
and elsewhere do. My attempts to document it by reverse-engineering were only partially
successful. Since then a number of changes was made that were also hard-to-impossible
to document.

I recommend that all use the new c++ tmfe frontend, which was designed for easy documentation,
and explanation. See tmfe.md for full documentation.

(pending improvements is to integrate TMEvent support, add the data-transmit thread and event fifo).

K.O.
