[[cat-templates]]
== cat templates

The `templates` command provides information about existing templates.

[source, sh]
--------------------------------------------------
% curl 'localhost:9200/_cat/templates?v=true'
name       template order version
template0 te*      0
template1 tea*     1
template2 teak*    2     7
--------------------------------------------------

The output shows that there are three existing templates,
with template_2 having a version value.

The endpoint also supports giving a template name or pattern in the url
to filter the results, for example `/_cat/templates/template*` or
`/_cat/templates/template0`.
