How to make parent wait for all child processes to finish?

I’m hoping someone could shed some light on how to make the parent wait for ALL child processes to finish before continuing after the fork. I have cleanup code which I want to run but the child processes need to have returned before this can happen.

for (int id=0; id<n; id++) {
  if (fork()==0) {
    // Child
    exit(0);      
  } else {
    // Parent
    ...
  }
  ...
}
