Constructors
------------
SequenceNumber
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. java:constructor:: public SequenceNumber()
   :outertype: SequenceNumber

   Constructor starting with 0 as the sequence number.

SequenceNumber
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. java:constructor:: public SequenceNumber(long value)
   :outertype: SequenceNumber

   Constructor starting with the specified number for the internal counter.

   :param value: start number within uint32 range
   :throws IllegalArgumentException: value outside uint32 range

Methods
-------
get
^^^

.. java:method:: public long get()
   :outertype: SequenceNumber

   Returns the internal counter value.

   :return: value

incrementAndGet
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. java:method:: public long incrementAndGet()
   :outertype: SequenceNumber

   Increment the internal counter and returns the new result in an atomic fashion.

   :return: new counter value
