D+ status in ps output

Question

Is there any difference between D, Ds and D+ status of process from the ps output

$ ps -e -o pid,stat,comm,wchan=WIDE-WCHAN-COLUMN | grep D
  PID STAT COMMAND         WIDE-WCHAN-COLUMN
12987 D+   du              o2net_send_message_vec

I understand D stands for Disk Sleep. Want to know D+, Ds and what do they stand for?

Yes. I should have done man ps thoroughly. I see the explanations there. Thanks. — rajeshrajan, Jun 19 '13 at 21:15

D - uninterruptable sleep
+ - in foreground process group
s - a session leader

These are for the BSD style ps command.
