The parsing of flags is weird here, most of the flags are compared with strcmp()
but some use matches().. I should have used strcmp() all the time; but at the
time did not realize what kind of confusion matches() can cause.

Maybe just change all of them then, and then how about using strncmp() and maybe also strnlen() instead?
