Title:
  Missing documentation for %id field in top's man page and info

Status in procps package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: procps

  
  top has this useful line at the beginning at the page:
  Cpu(s): 26.2%us,  4.6%sy,  0.0%ni, 60.3%id,  5.6%wa,  1.0%hi,  2.3%si,  0.0%st

  The %id field is not described in the man page or the 'info top'. All
  other fields are described.

  I think %id might be idle. But I am not sure.

  This is the relevant section in the man page, were %id is not described
