Well, I believe dir is built into modern versions of GNU coreutils, rather than being an alias or something: https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/dir-invocation.html#dir-invocation But you can still override it. You could alias it to a shell script that prints something or make it a function. Do it in /etc/ and it affects everyone of course.
