+The ``sycl_external`` attribute indicates that a function defined in another
+translation unit may be called by a device function defined in the current
+translation unit or, if defined in the current translation unit, the function
+may be called by device functions defined in other translation units.
+The attribute is intended for use in the implementation of the ``SYCL_EXTERNAL``
+macro as specified in section 5.10.1, "SYCL functions and member functions
+linkage", of the SYCL 2020 specification.
+
+The attribute only appertains to functions and only those that meet the
+following requirements.
+
+* Has external linkage.
+* Is not explicitly defined as deleted (the function may be an explicitly
+ defaulted function that is defined as deleted).
+
+The attribute shall be present on the first declaration of a function and
+may optionally be present on subsequent declarations.
+
+When compiling for a SYCL device target that does not support the generic
+address space, the function shall not specify a raw pointer or reference type
+as the return type or as a parameter type.
+See section 5.9, "Address-space deduction", of the SYCL 2020 specification.
