   print(text)

   The get_clip() function returns the text content from the clipboard as a string.

Notes

• This module is designed to work specifically on Windows systems.
• The ctypes module is used to interact with the Windows API functions for clipboard manipulation.
• The function assumes that the clipboard contains plain text (CF_TEXT format). If the clipboard data is not in plain text format, the function will not retrieve any data.

Please note that this module is intended for use in Windows environments only.
