 Inside server.c you can find code that handles other vital things of the Redis server:
 
 * `call()` is used in order to call a given command in the context of a given client.
-* `activeExpireCycle()` handles eviciton of keys with a time to live set via the `EXPIRE` command.

 * The global variable `redisCommandTable` defines all the Redis commands, specifying the name of the command, the function implementing the command, the number of arguments required, and other properties of each command.

+There are tons of commands implementations inside the Redis source code
 that can serve as examples of actual commands implementations. To write
 a few toy commands can be a good exercise to familiarize with the code base.
