+## Advanced Usage
+
+### Unix domain sockets
+
+By default, this library supports transport over plaintext TCP/IP and secure
+TLS connections for the `http://` and `https://` URI schemes respectively.
+This library also supports Unix domain sockets (UDS) when explicitly configured.
+
+In order to use a UDS path, you have to explicitly configure the connector to
+override the destination URI so that the hostname given in the request URI will
+no longer be used to establish the connection:
+
+```php
+$connector = new FixedUriConnector(
+    'unix:///var/run/docker.sock',
+    new UnixConnector($loop)
+);
+
+$client = new Client($loop, $connector);
+
+$request = $client->request('GET', 'http://localhost/info');
+```
+
+See also [example #11](examples/11-unix-domain-sockets.php).
+
 ## Install
 
 The recommended way to install this library is [through Composer](https://getcomposer.org).
