What is the output format of a Maxent model run in Biomod2 (raw, cumulative, logistic or cloglog) and can it be specified by the user?

I'm building a species distribution model/habitat suitability model using the package biomod2.

Maxent allows the user to choose one of four output formats (see title) when the Java application is used directly. However, when Maxent is called by functions in the package biomod2 (e.g. BIOMOD_Modeling) there doesn't seem to be an option to specify the output format. Nor is there any indication which one has been chosen. I think cloglog is the default so it is likely that one but I would like to be sure.

This tutorial has some images showing the differences between some of the outputs: https://biodiversityinformatics.amnh.org/open_source/maxent/Maxent_tutorial2017.pdf

Thanks for your help!

I emailed the developers and Damien Georges told me that the output format for MAXENT in biomod2 is logistic and that (so far) there is no way to change it
