How would one go about determining or viewing which indexes are frozen?

GET /\_cat/indices?v&h=i,sth lists all the indexes with the status flag, but is there a way to only show\list the frozen ones?

I tried GET /\_cat/indices?v&h=i,sth=true, but it still seems to list all the indexes.

indeed, the filtering only works on index name, not no attributes, you would need to filter that out on the client side.
