I don't think tcpick has an option to put an arbitrary label into the
file names. But you can easily do it outside of tcpick with the help
of a shell script.

Whether you are having tcpick exit on some condition (flags -e, -E…)
or whether you terminate it with a signal, you can have a shell script
waiting on it in order to rename all the files.

For example your script could make a temporary directory for each
tcpick execution, with mktemp -d, then call tcpick with the options
you need, and then rename all the files that were created in the
directory.
