apply -- Run a command many times with different arguments.
apply [-ac] [-#] command argument [argument ...]
apply runs the given command multiple times, with different arguments. Without arguments, command is run once for each argument. If the command contains strings of the form %d+, the d'th next unused argument will be substituted.
apply accepts the following options:
The working of apply is not influenced by any environment variables.
When command has magic %d+ sequences,
the string after interpolation of the arguments is handed to a shell for interpretation of meta characters.
This shell is determined by Perl,
during its building phase,
and is typically /bin/sh -c
on Unix platforms.
apply does not honor the users $SHELL
environment variable.
