How to get time in milliseconds or nanoseconds in C++

The thing is about getting time in C++ in form of milliseconds or nanoseconds. However I only know the way to get time in seconds like this:

#include <ctime>
...
time = ctime(0) ;
...

I want to know how to do similar operation to get time in milliseconds or nanoseconds. What headers I should include, what functions to call and what are their arguments ?
