user24926: I don't know if "fork" is the right word here, but I know that two blocks can be mined around the same time, creating more than one competing block at a certain level of the blockchain.
Is it possible to get information for about these competing blocks from bitcoind?

user2306: Yes.
Run bitcoin-cligetchaintips.
