Pragma External (GNAT Reference Manual)

### 2.67 Pragma External ¶

Syntax:

    pragma External (
      [   Convention    =>] convention_IDENTIFIER,
      [   Entity        =>] LOCAL_NAME
      [, [External_Name =>] static_string_EXPRESSION ]
      [, [Link_Name     =>] static_string_EXPRESSION ]);

This pragma is identical in syntax and semantics to pragma `Export` as defined in the Ada Reference Manual. It is provided for compatibility with some Ada 83 compilers that used this pragma for exactly the same purposes as pragma `Export` before the latter was standardized.
