"Press Any Key or Wait for 10 Seconds to Continue"

I have a code here that would probably just delay 10 seconds before proceeding , but I want to add a feature that the user could wait that delay or press any key to continue, I know it wouldn't be just like delay(10000) || getch(); any way to do it?

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <dos.h>

void main(){
    clrscr();
    printf("Press Any Key or Wait for 10 Seconds to Continue");
    delay(10000); 
    //getch();
}

It's actually quite easy using alarm:

printf("Press Any Key or Wait for 10 Seconds to Continue");
alarm(10);
getch();
alarm(0);

You might need to set a handler on SIGALRM though.

#include <stdio.h>

void main()
{
    int wait = 10000;

    clrscr();
    printf("Press Any Key or Wait for 10 Seconds to Continue\n");

    while(!kbhit() && wait > 0)
    {
        delay(100);
        wait -= 100;
    }
}
