clip is a command-line tool built into Windows that copies text received from standard input to the clipboard. You can pipe another command's output into it, as in dir | clip, or feed it file contents via redirection, so it is used to paste terminal output straight into another program without selecting it with the mouse. It is the equivalent of pbcopy on macOS and xclip on Linux.
