That is the exit code of the process.
The exit code returns is in a format called the `status area',
and is exactly the same as that returned by the wait(2)
system call.
The wait(2) man page describes the macros you need to use to
get the return code of the process.
What you want to do is something like:
rc = WEXITSTATUS(pclose(pipe));
