         -b, -c and -f are mutally exclusive and should raise an error
         if specified together.  In this case you must set
         opt_complementary = "b--cf:c--bf:f--bc".  If two of the
-        mutually exclusive options are found, getopt32's

+        mutually exclusive options are found, getopt32 will call
+        bb_show_usage() and die.
 
  "x--x" Variation of the above, it means that -x option should occur
         at most once.
 
- "?"    A "?" as the first char in a opt_complementary group means:
-        if BB_GETOPT_ERROR is detected, don't return, call bb_show_usage
-        and exit instead. Next char after '?' can't be a digit.
-
  "::"   A double colon after a char in opt_complementary means that the
         option can occur multiple times. Each occurrence will be saved as
         a llist_t element instead of char*.
