commands ls and ls -C seem to produce the same results - display by columns.



Is there any difference?

Referring to info coreutils 'ls invocation':



-C' --format=vertical'


List files in columns, sorted vertically. This is the default for
ls if standard output is a terminal
. It is always the default for the dir program. GNU ls uses variable width columns to display as many files as possible in the fewest lines.



TL;DR: no, no difference - that's default.
