Change the manpath, i. e. the directories where
{manpage}`man(1)`
looks for section-specific directories of man pages.
You only need to change this setting if you want extra man pages
(e. g. in non-english languages). All values must be strings that
are a valid path from the target prefix (without including it).
The first value given takes priority.
