Exit codes
 
I'd like to know, is there any possible way to finish my programm with exit code more than 255, and get it by echo $?. Thanks.

If you're talking about shell eg bash, its limited to 8 bits, so no.
You can however get it to print or echo out anything you want and have the caller parse that.
