Support Vector Machines for Binary Classification

The documention https://de.mathworks.com/help/stats/support-vector-machines-for-binary-classification.html mentions "The dual is a standard quadratic programming problem. For example, the Optimization Toolbox™ quadprog (Optimization Toolbox) solver solves this type of problem.".

However, quadprog minimizes a quadratic problem, while the dual problem should be maximized. Is there some other way to solve the dual?
