+name: Send an HTTP request over a unix domain socket with fetch
+---
+
+In Bun, the `unix` option in `fetch()` lets you send HTTP requests over a [unix domain socket](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_domain_socket).
+
+```ts
+const unix = "/var/run/docker.sock";
+
+const response = await fetch("http://localhost/info", { unix });
+
+const body = await response.json();
+console.log(body); // { ... }
+```
+
+---
+
+The `unix` option is a string that specifies the local file path to a unix domain socket. The `fetch()` function will use the socket to send the request to the server instead of using a TCP network connection. `https` is also supported by using the `https://` protocol in the URL instead of `http://`.
+
+To send a `POST` request to an API endpoint over a unix domain socket:
+
+```ts
+const response = await fetch("https://hostname/a/path", {
+  unix: "/var/run/path/to/unix.sock",
+  method: "POST",
+  body: JSON.stringify({ message: "Hello from Bun!" }),
+  headers: {
+    "Content-Type": "application/json",
+  },
+});
+
+const body = await response.json();
+```
