          (e. g. in non-english languages). All values must be strings that
          are a valid path from the target prefix (without including it).

          creates a database in each directory using the files
          `mansection/[arch/]title.section` and `catsection/[arch/]title.0`
          in it. If a directory contains no manual pages, no database is
          created in that directory.
          This option only needs to be set manually if extra paths should be
          indexed or {option}`documentation.man.manPath` contains paths that
          can't be indexed.
