Subject: utils_match: Let '^' and '$' affect lines rather than the full string.
X-Git-Tag: collectd-4.9.4~19
X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a0f552b023917a5b5dac834a5b8d1ef5b82f27f5;p=collectd.git

utils_match: Let '^' and '$' affect lines rather than the full string.

The regcomp() flag REG_NEWLINE is required for that, even though regex(7)
might make people think otherwise.
