What do the characters y/d/N mean?

When I am updating my system, the machine tells me the size of the packages to download and asks me:

is this ok: [y/d/N]?
I know the meaning of y (yes) and N (no), but don't know what d stands for. Can someone please explain it to me?

Note: In case it is needed, I am running Fedora 20.

yum fedora

The d means "download only", which sounds like it will just fetch the packages for your update but not apply them.

It is the same as yum --download-only
