How about like this:
@kindex info inferiors [ @var{id}@dots{} ]
@item info inferiors
Print a list of all inferiors currently being managed by @value{GDBN}.
By default all inferiors are printed, but the argument -- a space
separate list of inferior numbers -- can be used to limit the display
to just the requested inferiors.
This doesn't refer to @var{id} but I didn't see a clean way to do that.
