Kubernetes secret types

Where are documented the "types" of secrets that you can create in kubernetes?

looking at different samples I have found "generic" and "docker-registry" but I have no been able to find a pointer to documentation where the different type of secrets are documented.

I always end in the k8s doc: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/secret/ https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/inject-data-application/distribute-credentials-secure/

Thank you.

[...]

[...]

[...]
SecretTypeBasicAuth SecretType = "kubernetes.io/basic-auth"
[...]

In the kubectl docs you can see some of the available types. Also, in the command line

$ kubectl create secret --help
Create a secret using specified subcommand.

Available Commands:
  docker-registry Create a secret for use with a Docker registry
  generic         Create a secret from a local file, directory or literal value
  tls             Create a TLS secret

Usage:
  kubectl create secret [flags] [options]

Use "kubectl <command> --help" for more information about a given command.
Use "kubectl options" for a list of global command-line options (applies to all commands).
