Post A320 MCDU approach abbreviations
In an A320 (or any Airbus), how are the waypoints named after you insert an instrument approach.

For example, after I insert a VOR approach, the MCDU came up with waypoints :
CD34
FD34
MD34

I workout the 34 is for the runway, and F is FAF and M is MAPT, but what does the C and D stand for ?

C seemed to be the descent point, about 1nm before the FAF.

I couldn't work out what the D means.

Anyone know all the possible abbreviations you can get and what they mean ?
