.. _safe-imports-ext: Safe imports ~~~~~~~~~~~~ With the :extension:`Safe`, :extension:`Trustworthy` and :extension:`Unsafe` language flags, GHC extends the import declaration syntax to take an optional ``safe`` keyword after the ``import`` keyword. This feature is part of the Safe Haskell GHC extension. For example: :: import safe qualified Network.Socket as NS would import the module ``Network.Socket`` with compilation only succeeding if ``Network.Socket`` can be safely imported. For a description of when a import is considered safe see :ref:`safe-haskell`.
