Look at the account of the COPY statement, here:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/sql-copy.html

"""
FORMAT
Selects the data format to be read or written: text, csv (Comma Separated Values), or binary. The default is text.
"""

I suppose including the syntax term "format_type" might help, but the all-caps FORMAT is definitive.
