#### **safeApprove** <a href="#safeapprove" id="safeapprove"></a>

` function`` `` `**`safeApprove`**`(ERC20 _token, address _spender, uint256 _amount) internal returns (bool)`

Same as a standards-compliant ERC20.approve() that never reverts (returns false). Note that this makes an external call to the token.

Parameters:

* `_token` - ERC20
* `_spender` - address
* `_amount` - uint256

Returns:

* bool

#### **safeTransfer** <a href="#safetransfer" id="safetransfer"></a>

` function`` `` `**`safeTransfer`**`(ERC20 _token, address _to, uint256 _amount) internal returns (bool)`

***

Same as a standards-compliant ERC20.transfer() that never reverts (returns false). Note that this makes an external call to the token.

Parameters:

* `_token` - ERC20
* `_to` - address
* `_amount` - uint256

Returns:

* bool

#### **safeTransferFrom** <a href="#safetransferfrom" id="safetransferfrom"></a>

` function`` `` `**`safeTransferFrom`**`(ERC20 _token, address _from, address _to, uint256 _amount) internal returns (bool)`

***

Same as a standards-compliant ERC20.transferFrom() that never reverts (returns false). Note that this makes an external call to the token.

Parameters:

* `_token` - ERC20
* `_from` - address
