## GPSBabel Behavior Directives

There are a few available directives to control some of the internal processing functions of GPSBabel.

### SHORTLEN

This sets the maximum allowed shortname length when using the internal shortname synthesizer.

example:

    SHORTLEN 16 # shortnames will be at most 16 characters long.

### SHORTWHITE

This tells the shortname synthesizer whether or not to allow whitespace in the synthesized shortnames. Allowed values are zero and one.

example:

    SHORTWHITE  0  # Do not allow whitespace in shortname.
       SHORTWHITE   1 # Allow whitespace in shortname.
