Compact and aligned text (CAT)

The compact and aligned text (CAT) APIs aim are intended only for human consumption using the Kibana console or command line. They are not intended for use by applications. For application consumption, it's recommend to use a corresponding JSON API. All the cat commands accept a query string parameter help to see all the headers and info they provide, and the /_cat command alone lists all the available commands.
