If a child process encounters exit(0) statement, where is this exit status returned in the parent process? Is there any variable associated with every process that holds this information? If not, how do children and parent processes communicate?

I completely agree with deceptikon. For example, in case of Linux you have wait() and waitpid() functions to get the exit status of child process. More on this here
