To view these templates in ecCodes, go to the grib2 definitions directory (this can be found via the "codes_info" command) and look for files named: template.4.*.def
Some of these will include other template files. Let's look at one example of the template numbers 8 and 11:

Code Block
languagebash
% codes_info
  ecCodes Version 2.17.0
  Default definition files path is used: /usr/local/apps/eccodes/2.17.0/GNU/7.3.0/share/eccodes/definitions
...
# Go to the definitions directory for GRIB edition 2
% cd /usr/local/apps/eccodes/2.17.0/GNU/7.3.0/share/eccodes/definitions/grib2
% cat template.4.11.def
include "grib2/template.4.parameter.def"
include "grib2/template.4.horizontal.def"
include "grib2/template.4.eps.def"
include "grib2/template.4.statistical.def"

% cat template.4.8.def
include "grib2/template.4.parameter.def"
include "grib2/template.4.horizontal.def"
include "grib2/template.4.statistical.def"

# We see that the only difference is the inclusion of the ensemble file (template.4.eps.def)
# Now look in this file to see what keys are there
% more template.4.eps.def
...
unsigned[1] perturbationNumber  : dump;
...
# This tells us there is a one-octet key called perturbationNumber
