Full list of headers for _cat/indices

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I was looking at the documentation for the _cat/indices api (https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/cat-indices.html), and I see that the normal list of headers returned is:

health
status
index
uuid
pri
rep
docs.count
docs.deleted
store.size
pri.store.size

However, just a little lower in the documentation, they use a few new headers to display memory and merge operations that aren't part of the default list, _cat/indices?h=mt,tm

Is there a complete list available somewhere else of all of the headers for all of the _cat apis??

For example the _cat/nodes documentation does include an exhaustive list of headers: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/cat-nodes.html

If you add a URL parameter ?help you will get a complete list (e.g., /_cat/indices?help).
