Event Timers and RB trees

[test guy]

I have been looking through the nginx source code and cannot figure out how
event timers are used (and their purpose). Can somebody shed some light on
this for me please?

Also, I noticed a red/black tree is used somehow with event timers, and I
also do not understand this.
