Dumcap has another advantage :
it is much faster than Wireshark as it has no graphic interface to process.

Why not use dumpcap for day-long capturing instead of Wireshark?

You can configure dumpcap to run continuously or for just a single day
then stop, and you can configure dumpcap to capture only a certain
amount of data per file.  When the limit is reached, it will close the
file and open a new one.  That makes the files a little more manageable
to analyze later on.  You can always use mergecap to combine them later
if you want or you can use editcap to further split them if they're
still too big.  You can view any of the files in Wireshark at any time
without having to stop dumpcap. 

See "dumpcap -h" or "man dumpcap" or
