Hi
I'm running a command in coproc:
coproc {ls -1 dir;}
I would like to know if the ls succeeded (could fail if e.g.: no
`dir`).. How to accomplish this task? $jobstates doesn't hold exit
code and is cleared immediately when ls ends with no chance to read
it.

Best regards,

The value of $! immediately after starting the coproc is its process
ID, just like any other background job.
coproc ...
coproc_pid=$!
...
wait $coproc_pid
will give you the exit status, modulo the caveats explained under the
"wait" description.
