Using diversion is (currently) limited to Autoconf internals, so
currently there is no means to know which ones are used. you may find
the list of diversions used at the top of acgeneral.m4:
define(AC_DIVERSION_KILL, -1)# suppress output
define(AC_DIVERSION_BINSH, 0)# AC_REQUIRE'd #! /bin/sh line
define(AC_DIVERSION_NOTICE, 1)# copyright notice & option help strings
define(AC_DIVERSION_INIT, 2)# initialization code
define(AC_DIVERSION_NORMAL_4, 3)# AC_REQUIRE'd code, 4 level deep
define(AC_DIVERSION_NORMAL_3, 4)# AC_REQUIRE'd code, 3 level deep
define(AC_DIVERSION_NORMAL_2, 5)# AC_REQUIRE'd code, 2 level deep
define(AC_DIVERSION_NORMAL_1, 6)# AC_REQUIRE'd code, 1 level deep
define(AC_DIVERSION_NORMAL, 7)# the tests and output code
define(AC_DIVERSION_CMDS, 8)# extra shell commands in config.status
define(AC_DIVERSION_ICMDS, 9)# extra initialization in config.status
Starting at a high number, you shouldn't meet any problems :)
