 The definition of `createContainer` hooks is currently underspecified and hooks authors, should only expect from the runtime that the mount namespace and different mounts will be setup. Other operations such as cgroups and SELinux/AppArmor labels might not have been performed by the runtime.

+The `sendSeccompFd` hooks MUST only be called if the seccomp policy contains `SCMP_ACT_NOTIFY` actions.
+
+The `sendSeccompFd` hooks MUST be called after the [`start`](runtime.md#start) operation is called and after the seccomp policy is installed but [before the user-specified program command is executed](runtime.md#lifecycle).
+The `sendSeccompFd` hooks MAY additionally be called while the container is in the [`running` state](runtime.md#runtimeState), for example during an `exec` operation.
+The goal of this hook is to pass the seccomp file descriptor to a seccomp agent.

+### <a name="seccompstate" />The Seccomp State
+
+The seccomp state is a data structure passed via stdin to the SendSeccompFd hooks.
+It includes the following properties:
+
+* **`ociVersion`** (string, REQUIRED) is version of the Open Container Initiative Runtime Specification with which the seccomp state complies.
+* **`seccompFd`** (int, REQUIRED) is the file descriptor for Seccomp User Notification passed via process inheritance to the SendSeccompFd hooks. The value MUST NOT be zero: zero is reserved for stdin.
+* **`pid`** (int, REQUIRED) is the process ID on which the seccomp filter is applied.
+* **`pidFd`** (int, OPTIONAL) is a pid file descriptor for the process on which the seccomp filter is applied. This file descriptor is also passed via process inheritance to the SendSeccompFd hooks. As the field is optional, the value MAY be zero, meaning `pidFd` is not passed to the hook. If passed, the file descriptor MUST NOT be zero: zero is reserved for stdin.
+* **`state`** (map, REQUIRED) is the [state](runtime.md#state) of the container.
+
+When serialized in JSON, the format MUST adhere to the following pattern:
+
+```json
+{
+    "ociVersion": "0.2.0",
+    "seccompFd": 3,
+    "pid": 4422,
+    "pidFd": 4,

+
+Note that if `state.status` is `creating`, the seccomp filter is created following the [`start`](runtime.md#start) command and `.pid` has the same value as `.state.pid`.
+And if `state.status` is `running`, the seccomp filter is created following an `exec` command and `.pid` has a different value than `.state.pid`.
