How to exit a child process and return its status from execvp()?

In my simple custom shell I'm reading commands from the standard input and execute them with execvp(). Before this, I create a fork of the current process and I call the execvp() in that child process, right after that, I call exit(0).

Something like this:

pid = fork();

if(pid == -1) {
    perror("fork");
    exit(1);
}

if(pid == 0) {
    // CHILD PROCESS CODE GOES HERE...
    execvp(pArgs[0], pArgs);
    exit(0);
} else {
    // PARENT PROCESS CODE GOES HERE...
}

Now, the commands run with execvp() can return errors right? I want to handle that properly and right now, I'm always calling exit(0), which will mean the child process will always have an "OK" state.

How can I return the proper status from the execvp() call and put it in the exit() call? Should I just get the int value that execvp() returns and pass it as an exit() argument instead of 0. Is that enough and correct?
