[gdal-dev] Encoding of keys and values returned by GDALGetMetadata?

[Sean Gillies]

Hi all,

Little is said at
https://www.gdal.org/gdal_8h.html#a25929a66e99d92c2788485ecf13e2e82. Are
these values UTF-8 (as was the intent in
https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/rfc5_unicode) or does it depend on the
format driver? In https://github.com/mapbox/rasterio/issues/1663 a rasterio
user is encountering HDF5 metadata items that can't be decoded using
Python's UTF-8 codec and I've love to be able to sort this out.

Thanks,
