Apply a function to multiple list-like or vector-like arguments
mapply is a multivariate version of
sapply. mapply applies
FUN to the first elements of each ... argument,
the second elements, the third elements, and so on. Arguments
are recycled if necessary.
NOTE: This man page is for the mapply S4 generic function
defined in the BiocGenerics package.
See ?base::mapply for the default method
(defined in the base package).
Bioconductor packages can define specific methods for objects
(typically list-like or vector-like) not supported by the
default methods.

One or more list-like or vector-like objects of strictly positive length, or all of zero length. |
See ?base::mapply for the value returned by the
default method.
Specific methods defined in Bioconductor packages should behave as consistently as possible with the default method.
base::mapply for the default mapply
method.

methods defined for a given generic function.
