Problem descriptions :
--------------------

Consider the following C source file 

/********C file ************/

main()
{
	exit(4000);
}
/************ End of C file ****/

Compile the above source code and execute the executable (say a.out).
Follow the steps in K shell

$ a.out
$ echo $?
160

It is required to interpret the return status.
The return status is 160 and not 4000.
160 is the remainder of 4000/256.
I want the return status to be 4000.
How can I achieve this ?

Please, reply as soon as possible.
Thanks,
