In most cases there is no need to change those @flags, other possible
are REG_ICASE and REG_NEWLINE.

There is virStringSearch() that does exactly what you are referring to.
However, virStringSearch() doesn't allow more than one match group,
which virStorageBackendLogicalParseVolExtents uses.
The purpose of virStringMatch is to match the regex in cases where
you don't need the matched groups. We might extend/improve
virStringSearch().
