Well, issuing "eselect" lists "rc" as a module and "man rc.eselect"
gives you a list of actions to use and their description :

NAME
       rc.eselect - Runlevel configuration module

SYNOPSIS
       eselect rc [help|usage|version]
       eselect rc add script [runlevel...]
       eselect rc delete script [runlevel...]
       eselect rc list [runlevel]
       eselect rc pause script [script...]
       eselect rc restart script [script...]
       eselect rc show [runlevel...]
       eselect rc start script [script...]
       eselect rc stop script [script...]
