macos macbook-pro command-line sleep-wake hibernate

                          Not sure if my Macbookpro Retina 2015 is waking up from sleep, safesleep or hibernation.

I have enabled hibernatemode 25 (via terminal command: sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 25). pmset -g shows hibernatemode is indeed 25.

Is this mode the equivalent of the Windows 7 hibernate and or, the hibernate button on the 'Deepsleep' widget/mac app http://www.axoniclabs.com/DeepSleep/  or the other 'Deep Sleep' app's sleep button http://deepsleep.free.fr  ?
