Fork does not restore variables

The idea of the code is: Give fork 3 times, that is, from the parent create three children (with count = 0, count = 1 and count = 2). The children then upon returning from the loop will see that their i == 0 and will exit the loop. When entering the other condition, they (the children, because i == 0), when starting the count should appear 0,1,2 , but it is appearing 0,0,0 , then give an exec by passing: 1-the path with the name of the executable. 2-What is the number of the child (0,1,2).

I have the parent program: ...

 i = 1;
for( count = 0; count < 3; count++) {
        if( i != 0 ) {
            i = fork();
        } else {
            break;
        }
    }

    if( i == 0 ) {
        printf("%d",count);
        char arg[10];
        sprintf(arg, "%d", count);
        execl("/home/Downloads/filho",arg,NULL);

.... My expected printf ouuput was:

  

0.1,2

But it's coming out:

  

0.0,0

EDIT ----- Maybe in the child I'm taking the value in the wrong way: I'm going through this:

char arg[10];
            sprintf(arg, "%d", count);
            execl("/home/Downloads/filho",arg,NULL);

And not child executable:

int n = atoi(argv[1]);

But in this way it generates a problem that no result appears in the child executable. and if I put it like this:

int n = atoi(argv[2]);

It printable the results of the child executable, but in the wrong way.

son.c:

int main( int argc, char *argv[] )
{
        int n = atoi(argv[2]);

        printf("Filho #%d,n); 
    exit(0);
}

Expected output:

  

Son # 1 Son # 2 Son # 3

Output when exiting:

  

Son # 0 Son # 0 Son # 0
