Yes, that's what it does:

XML_Bool XMLCALL
XML_ParserReset(XML_Parser p,
                const XML_Char *encoding);

"Clean up the memory structures maintained by the parser so that it may be used
again. After this has been called, parser is ready to start parsing a new
document. All handlers are cleared from the parser, except for the
unknownEncodingHandler. The parser's external state is re-initialized except for
the values of ns and ns_triplets. This function may not be used on a parser
created using XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate; it will return XML_FALSE in that
case. Returns XML_TRUE on success. Your application is responsible for dealing
with any memory associated with user data."
