The format is none of those :-) It actually looks like this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/movies $ sudo eix --dump | grep SLOT
DIFF_NO_SLOTS='false'
FORMAT_BEFORE_SLOT_IUSE='\n\t\{(blue)'
FORMAT_AFTER_SLOT_IUSE='()\}'
COLOR_SLOTS='red,1'
COLORED_SLOTS='true'
COLON_SLOTS='false'
UPGRADE_TO_HIGHEST_SLOT='true'
PRINT_SLOTS='true'
