Change the paths included in MANPATH environment variable,
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. Note that this is not
adding manpath in {manpage}`man.conf(5)`.
