Where can I find a list of exit codes? (Exit code 64)

I'm receiving an exit code 64 in our batch scheduler (BMC product control-m) executing a PERL script on UX-HP. Can you tell me where I can find a list of exit codes and their meaning. I'm assuming the exit code is from the Unix operating system not PERL. (3 Replies)

whereis(1)						      General Commands Manual							whereis(1)

Name
       whereis - locate source, binary, and or manual for program

Syntax
       whereis [-sbm] [-u] [-SBM dir... -f] name...

Description
       The command locates source/binary and manuals sections for specified files.  The supplied names are first stripped of leading pathname com-
       ponents and any (single) trailing extension of the form ``.ext'', for example,``.c''.  Prefixes of ``s.'' resulting from use of source code
       control are also dealt with.  The command then attempts to locate the desired program in a list of standard places.

Options
       -S dir
	  Search for source files in specified directory.

       -B dir
	  Search for binary files in given directory.

       -M dir
	  Search for manual section files in given directory.

       -b Searches only for binary files.

       -f Terminates last directory list created from use of -S, -B or -M flags and signals the start of file names.

       -m Searches only for manual section files.

       -s Searches only for source files.

       -u Searches for files that do not have one of binary, source or manual section files.  A file is said to be unusual if it does not have one
	  entry of each requested type.  Thus ``whereis -m -u *'' asks for those files in the current directory which have no documentation.

Examples
       The following finds all the files in which are not documented in with source in
       cd /usr/ucb
       whereis -u -M /usr/man/man1 -S /usr/src/cmd -f *

Restrictions
       Since the program uses to run faster, pathnames given with the -M -S and -B must be full.  That is, they must begin with a ``/''.

Files
       /usr/src/*
       /usr/{doc,man}/*
       /lib, /etc, /usr/{lib,bin,ucb,old,new,local}
