These are Unix (Posix) exit codes. They are described in the
Unix documentation, probably with the "wait" function.

The lower 7 bits code a signal, bit 7 indicates that a core has
been written. Bit 8 to 15 is the exit code given to "exit".

In your case above, your program was terminated by signal 10 (bit 0 to 6),
a core file has been written (bit 7 set).
