Can C51 compiler generate .elf file?

I was trying to generate .elf file using C51 compiler. From my quick search in Keil official website, apparently C51 compiler could not generate .elf format, I might be wrong. So, I would like to understand the following items:

Does C51 support .elf generation?
If yes, how could I generate it? I would prefer command line.
Is there any setting needed in order to generate .elf using C51?

No.

It's Intel OMF - and, if you use CX51 and/or LX51, there are proprietary extensions.

Why do you think you need ELF ?
