Carlos,

Currently the ENVI driver in GDAL discards much of the stuff in the .hdr
file, keeping only the coordinate system, geotransform and image structure.
Ideally some of the other information would be returned as metadata but
currently it is not.

If you needs are quite specific you might just want to write some code to
read the .hdr file yourself to get it out.

Best regards,
