2.61 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.
