Understanding inplace=True

In the pandas library many times there is an option to change the object inplace such as with the following statement...

df.dropna(axis='index', how='all', inplace=True)

I am curious what is being returned as well as how the object is handled when inplace=True is passed vs. when inplace=False.

Are all operations modifying self when inplace=True? And when inplace=False is a new object created immediately such as new_df = self and then new_df is returned?
