No, it isn't. Or only if you request a complete program from Bison.
You normall get a sourcecode from Bison that compiles into a single
user-visible function yyparse().

That's really easy. The trick is to define your own 'yylex' (or
yyinput(), if you're using Flex along with Bison) that reads out of a
string instead of a file.
