It is not mirroring, no physical copying is done. The entry about A and B in
the directory structure will point to same file. The physical file remains just
single with its link count in inode increased. This type of link is called hard

It is not short cut, it is called symbolic link. Symbolic link uses filename
itself instead of inode number to maintain relationship. You can use both A and
B for work.
