Simple command-line tool that mimics pbpaste in windows.

**Installation and Usage**

You can install this package using pip:

```

pip install pbpaste-win

```

Once installed, you can use it as a command-line tool by running:

```

pbpaste

```

This will print the current clipboard contents to the console.

**How it works**

1. The script creates a hidden tkinter window.

2. It retrieves the current clipboard contents using `root.clipboard_get()`.

3. The retrieved text is then printed to the console.
