[;1m apply(Fun, Args)[0m
Calls a fun, passing the elements in [;;4mArgs[0m as arguments.
If the number of elements in the arguments are known at compile
time, the call is better written as [;;4mFun(Arg1, Arg2, ... ArgN)[0m.
[;;4mWarning[0m
Earlier, [;;4mFun[0m could also be specified as [;;4m{Module, Function}[0m,
equivalent to [;;4mapply(Module, Function, Args)[0m. This use is
deprecated and will stop working in a future release.
[;1m apply(Module, Function, Args)[0m
Returns the result of applying [;;4mFunction[0m in [;;4mModule[0m to [;;4mArgs[0m.
The applied function must be exported from [;;4mModule[0m. The arity of
the function is the length of [;;4mArgs[0m.
For example:
> apply(lists, reverse, [[a, b, c]]).
[c,b,a]
> apply(erlang, atom_to_list, ['Erlang']).
"Erlang"
If the number of arguments are known at compile time, the call is
better written as [;;4mModule:Function(Arg1, Arg2, ..., ArgN)[0m.
Failure: [;;4merror_handler:undefined_function/3[0m is called if the
applied function is not exported. The error handler can be
redefined (see [;;4mprocess_flag/2[0m). If [;;4merror_handler[0m is undefined,
or if the user has redefined the default [;;4merror_handler[0m so the
replacement module is undefined, an error with reason [;;4mundef[0m is
generated.
