Possible to get GDB-level metadata?

[TimStone]

I'm trying to read some of the geodatabase-level metadata from the GDB using the FGDB API.

I know how to do this for tables, using, for instance, Table.GetDefinition().

In particular, I'd like to get the "character set" the GDB is using.  I've attached a screen snap from ArcCatalog showing how I can see this in ArcCatalog in the screen snap, the GDB is using "utf8".

To get to this screen in ArcCatalog:

Click the GDB, then click the "Description" pane at the top, then the "Edit" pane at the top.

Then I click on "Details" under "Metadata".

Is it possible to get this info using the File GDB API?

thanks!
