buf.write_uint16(0) # line turnaround

what does line turnaround and value of 1 exactly mean here?

I believe the line turnaround is an obsolete field and its value is unimportant.

The value of 1 is used to determine whether the client is little endian or big endian. Since the thin client uses the "heterogeneous" mode its value is not important either.
