Question Return Code of tar in AIX

I am making some shell commands using tar command under AIX. Could somebody tell me the meaning of those return code of tar command? like 1, 2, 3...

I have been searching all the time and got only this:
0 success
>0 error

Does somebody know the meaning of those number greater than 0 in detail?

Your information will be great help, thank you!

dupeng, it doesn't get any more specific for the tar command than a zero return code for success and a non-zero return code for failure.

each command is different w/ return codes. you would have to read the man page and usually at the bottom of it they explane what there return codes are if they are more then a 0 or 1.
