Network device aliases

I think I've more or less worked out how network devices are initiated,
and configured, with the help of the htmlised sources, but am not
finding anything on how aliases (eth0:1 ...) work.
Do they have an entire device structure that only differs in name and
IP address?
Any pointers would be most welcome.
Many thanks.
