It actually has almost nothing to do with whether or not
the output is to a terminal (that part of the description
that was there is at best misleading).
The "almost" is that -C is the default format if the output
is a terminal, and -1 if it isn't.
That's as far as "terminal" is relevant, but that can alter
the results.
Is is the output format which is chosen (by option, or by
using the rule to select the default) which affects what is
output.
And I believe that the -x and -C variation depending upon how
many columns are output really is a bug, that should just be
fixed.
