+<a name="applyEach" />
+### applyEach(fns, args..., callback)
+
+Applies the provided arguments to each function in the array, calling the
+callback after all functions have completed. If you only provide the first
+argument then it will return a function which lets you pass in the
+arguments as if it were a single function call.
+
+__Arguments__
+
+* fns - the asynchronous functions to all call with the same arguments
+* args... - any number of separate arguments to pass to the function
+* callback - the final argument should be the callback, called when all
+  functions have completed processing
+
+
+__Example__
+
+```js
+async.applyEach([enableSearch, updateSchema], 'bucket', callback);
+
+// partial application example:
+async.each(
+    buckets,
+    async.applyEach([enableSearch, updateSchema]),
+    callback
+);
+```
