Code:
sendmany @p{lt}fromaccount@s{gt} {address:amount,...} [minconf=1] [comment] @p{brk}
amounts are double-precision floating point numbers @p{brk}

    @s{(link)} @p{par}

Need for this is being driven by mining pool operators; it is much more efficient to pay lots of people with one transaction rather than lots of little transactions. @p{par}

Old clients will refuse to relay sendmany transactions, so to ensure timely inclusion in a block mining pool operators should either upgrade together and connect their clients together or wait until a good percentage of the network has had a chance to upgrade to the next version of bitcoin. @p{par}

Examples of use from a bash command-line (note you have to quote the second 'object' argument because the {} characters are interpreted by bash): @p{brk}

Code:
bitcoind sendmany "" '{"mvTt8hav6e9ESjSrXJ1yaJhyULHv8ywcN7":50}' 1 "To the Faucet" @p{brk}
bitcoind sendmany "SomeAccount" '{"myeTWjh876opYp6R5VRj8rzkLFPE4dP3Uw":10,"mikZVLuasDcY1Jmph3rqgT1NXfjB1srSEc":15,"mvTt8hav6e9ESjSrXJ1yaJhyULHv8ywcN7":50}' @p{brk}
