+ <desc>
+ <p>Sets the configuration <c><anno>Config</anno></c> for multiple
+ applications. It is equivalent to calling <c>set_env/4</c> on
+ each application individially, except it is more efficient.
+ The given <c><anno>Config</anno></c> is validated before the
+ configuration is set.</p>
+ <p><c>set_env/2</c> uses the standard <c>gen_server</c> time-out
+ value (5000 ms). Option <c>timeout</c> can be specified
+ if another time-out value is useful, for example, in situations
+ where the application controller is heavily loaded.</p>
+ <p>Option <c>persistent</c> can be set to <c>true</c>
+ to guarantee that parameters set with <c>set_env/2</c>
+ are not overridden by those defined in the application resource
+ file on load. This means that persistent values will stick after the application
+ is loaded and also on application reload.</p>
+ <p>If an application is given more than once or if an application
+ has the same key given more than once, the behaviour is undefined
+ and a warning message will be logged. In future releases, an error
+ will be raised.</p>
+ <p><c>set_env/1</c> is equivalent to <c>set_env(Config, [])</c>.</p>
+ <warning>
+ <p>Use this function only if you know what you are doing,
+ that is, on your own applications. It is very
+ application-dependent and
+ configuration parameter-dependent when and how often
+ the value is read by the application. Careless use
+ of this function can put the application in a
+ weird, inconsistent, and malfunctioning state.</p>
